Problem is that browsers are a bit shaky on this issue. First, a form has an "accept-charset" attribute. But the browsers themselves are not always very good at translating into the required character set. I know I have a serious issue with this on the Macintosh, where the browser doesn't translate the Macintosh Hebrew into ISO-8859-8. If you use Utf-8 and the browser is not entirely aware that a keyboard mapping translates into the Hebrew range of unicode, but instead interprets it as your regular accents, you won't get the correct unicode characters on the machine end. Just tested, and Mozilla and Konqueror take what kxkb tell them and send it correctly in the character encoding of the page. Lynx, however, gives me trouble - if I select the page encoding as ISO-8859-8, it definitely sends out utf-8 in the wrong range. But this could be konsole's intervention.
