Watch the %C3%82 change into an  if your browser interprets it and it
works. If it doesn't work, there is probably something wrong with your
browser. Also, if it doesn't work it's best summarised by this line from
the web page:
"I had managed to write half of what was a very detailed explanation of
the difference between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. I lost it in a freak
keyboard accident and am not going to repeat it."
Ubuntu uses UTF-8 for most things. ISO-8859-1 is polluted by the
Microsoft "we are the standard" implementation, which seems so prevalent
that I even had to change the default settings in Thunderbird to avoid it.
If you can read my .sig, your UTF-8 is working.
