TSE can only handle character(encoding)s that consist of 1 byte.
Microsoft and TSE know character encodings as "code pages".
But which code pages exist, and which one of those are single-byte ones?
I added an example list based on my computer to my Code Pages documentation:
https://ecarlo.nl/tse/files/CodePages.html#CodePageByteSizes
To create such a list for your own Windows computer use the new CodePageList tool:

I did more research on which code page TSE uses, especially when the external code page is a multi-byte one.
I already knew that sometimes that was only ASCII, and was surprised to learn that sometimes it is code page 850.
The result got its own section in my Code Pages documentation:
