Charset Encoding and Problems

[dh1jc]

Short notice on Charset encoding.

I changed from ISO Charset to UTF-8, because of some pages can't be rendered (converted) into ISO (see below).

Example Page: TrakTickets (or other Help Pages)

Traceback (most recent call last):

See this comment. You will have to remove the offending characters from the page.

Duplicate of #897.

;) but the conversion should do that automatically!
