Looks like it's time for Frank to go back to school.

Duh, can UTF-8 be interpreted correctly by browsers in common
circulation, and if so (or if it's on a rising wave) what is the best
reference text on it?

Also ... if we move to a new encoding, we'll need a conversion tool.
Is there a Unix filter that can munge one of the common Jse
encodings into UTF-8?

Many thanks,
Frank Bennett
