When characters show up wrong in the users browser it's usually because the

from last millenia that we sometimes still choke on .. sorry the rant ;)
UTF-8 is a waste of storage for most people and is incompatiple with
text-mode tools: it's simple another bid to make it impossible to run
without a GUI.
