Hi Everybody,
I think I might have figured out the coming out as  mystery.
Seems the problem is my browser was expecting a document encoded in
iso-8859-1 (latin1) but was getting utf-8. I fixed the problem by making
sure the browser knew the encoding was utf-8 by either putting it in the
http headers:
Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
.. or as a meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Now everything seems fine and it accounts for why I could only see the
weird characters in my browser, not in my terminal.
Cheers,
mark
