Obviously I can't know what your project is, but you'll save yourself 
heaps of problems sticking to UTF-8, in particular if you plan on 
implementing any search functionality or have users submit content. 
Enforce and stick to UTF-8.

When characters show up wrong in the users browser it's usually because 
the browser is set to use a non-UTF-8 charset by default such as 
windows-1252, the web server sends the charset=ascii in the http header 
and there is no or incorrect meta tag to resolve the problem. Non UTF-8 
charsets are a leftover from last millenia that we sometimes still choke 
on .. sorry the rant ;)

Cheers, Erik
