Maybe im wrong...

Lets suppose i have a page with ISO-8859 encoding. In a textarea
-which i want to sign- I type:
"Legión Española" and click sign (this will translate ISO into bytes and sign)
Then, i send the original+signed data to you.

You receive on UTF-8 and try to verify signature. As your UTF string
tranlated into bytes its not the same i use, the signature will not be
the same-> verification fail.

...am i correct?

(Maybe iso/utf-8 share those bytes, but im sure Kim Jong Un use another ones)
