   You are right, I was mistaken about the specification and remembered it 
wrongly. But I am still wondering why ISO-8859-1 is used for the JSON encoding 
of fixed and bytes (I don't mean the binary encoding, just the JSON 
representation). The JSON RFC 
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259#section-8.1) says that all text 
that crosses the boundaries of a closed ecosystem must be encoded with UTF-8. 
In my particular case, the choice of the encoding for example prevents me from 
a straightforward integration with Snowflake (which assumes UTF-8 encoding). 
But I guess this is something that can hardly be changed for backwards 
compatibility reasons...
