I've a few like that though I've tended to stick with ISO and strip  
out the code in phpwebsite that does anything with UTF. Most of them  
were MySQL 4.0 too so no character set support. I don't think it's  
actually worth using UTF unless you're on MySQL 4.1 or later. Most of  
the time the one I come up against is pound signs of course.

Again though, I'm not likely to be converting them for quite some  
time. 0.10.x just has a lot more features at present and a couple of  
important modules that aren't on 1.0.

I'm starting a proper 1.0 project now though so that I can work out  
what needs doing.
