I'm confused (I haven't read the original thread). Why would you need to
do any sort of UTF-8 conversion anywhere? All browsers except Navigator
4.7, I think, will give you UTF-8 and print UTF-8 properly if you declare
the content-type correctly (which presumably axkit already does). I
wouldn't imagine you have to do anything to make this work.

I've tried pasting chinese chars into a textarea a year ago as a test. It
worked fine.
