The English pronunciation
It must be following closely the original, something like /modʒiˈbɑke(ɪ)/ or /modʒiˈbæke(ɪ)/? --Anatoli (обсудить) 05:45, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I don’t think English-speaking programmers follow the Japanese pronunciation, as this term is rather internationalized. See w:Talk:Mojibake. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 09:30, 17 April 2012 (UTC)


 * OK but note that people are aware of the word being Japanese nonetheless, so they don't usually say mowjy-beyk or something. There are few variants depending on the education, region, etc. I'm OK what your edit. Thanks. --Anatoli (обсудить) 11:51, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Mojibake dictionary
Why is there no dictionary of mojibake characters? Google exact text search for "Dictionary of mojibake" has not results currently. Entries could look like this:

(I think "Γäù" is "©".) If such a dictionary or enumeration ever comes into existence it should be linked at the bottom of this entry. --User123o987name (talk) 08:22, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
