Lots of gotchas with UTF-8. For what it's worth, you
can look here:

http://www.jsware.net/jsware/scrfiles.php5#u2a

It's 3 different methods of converting between UTF-8
and ANSI.

  In general a page that's UTF-8 should say so in a
META charset tag, which will at least help to reduce
the work. Unfortunately, it's become politically
correct to use UTF-8 even where it's not needed.
Microsoft pagesare a good example. They use UTF-8
characters for curly quotes and spaces, neither of
which is necessary. It makes a mess when trying to
save their pages.
