python 2.7.3
md.py from couple of days ago, so guess latest.

I want to use utf-8 in output.

the problem is now resolved, but others may see it.
Solution below.

I want HTML output, not the body element contents?
I'm not sure why markdown.py doesn't do this.
Is there a good reason?

So I created a bash script

bn=`nameonly $1`
op=${bn}.html
rmif tmp.tmp

echo -e """
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <head>
   <title> $1 </title>
   <meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />
    <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"/styles/css/md.css\" type=\"text/css\" />

 </head>
<body>""" >$op
#python -m markdown -v -e utf-8 -o xhtml1  -x extra --noisy >> ${op}
python -m markdown -v -e utf-8 -o xhtml1  -x extra --noisy -f tmp.tmp ${1}
cat  tmp.tmp >>${op}
echo """
</body>
</html>
""" >> $op

Not that I was redirecting output to the output file? (The commented out line)
This created the problem. It would seem to be a difference between
redirection and
cp and >>
The replacement line solves that problem.
It would seem redirected output is unable to utilise an appropriate
character set.

The input which shows this error.

3. ∴  henrys car has four doors. (given)

(u2234) is the character.
