C, C++ and Java source files are not plain text as well (they have their own
"text/*" MIME type, which is NOT "text/plain" notably because of the rules
associated with end-of-lines, notably in presence of comments).

text.
See "text/xml", "text/html" and "text/sgml" MIME types. They also aren't
"text/plain" so they have their own interpretation of Unicode characters
which is not the one found in the Unicode standard.
