conversion of ascii to utf-8

[sreekant]

hi,
The 7-bit ASCII text on the web is the only common format
that is truly supported in all countries.
For unicode compatibility  the utf-8 format is normally preferred. What
approach is
to be followed to convert the ascii representation of characters into
the utf-8 format to enable the unicode compatibility?
bye,
