This makes no sense, though. There is no way, ß and ¥ could be confused when using Unicode and there is also no pair of codepages where they reside in the same location (at least that I am aware of) – but even if, Unicode made the code pages obsolete and rightfully so.

Oh, boy would I LOVE this one on a T-shirt!

Blödes Encoding!
@Joey: You usually get: ScheiÃ.e (with the . representing the non-printable character 0x9f).

@Chrys:
Not quite the t-shirt you're looking for, but similar.

For Germans, the more common form of failed decoding of that word is "Scheiße".
@Chrys: There are in fact T-Shirts with "Scheiß-Encoding" on it. And, if I may, I think you will like these shirts: http://www.ravn.de/blog/malencoded

There are some shirts with this joke already, for example:

It is much worse with Cyrillic. You Germans can still use “ss” etc.
