The content is UTF-8.  There is a <meta> in the HTML saying as such.  I
can't seem to get apache on www.gnucash.org to serve the content as
UTF-8, however.

If you're suggesting that we open each file in `vim` and re-write its
encoding, I'd suggest that `iconv` is scriptably easier, and we could
just re-generate the content with a non-conflicting encoding.  I'd
rather we just served UTF-8 properly.

Firefox also has a "Character Encoding" option, here in the View menu.


This problem's has been happening for a while, but in part because
making changes to www.gnucash.org is painful, it's gone unresolved.
