The problem I stumbled into is that when I used UTF-8, several characters showed up as gobbledygook in my Firefox browser. Specifically, the characters "\u201c" and "\u201d" (quote marks) were not carrying over. Some googling revealed that I should change my browser's default character set. I switched form Western ISO to UTF-8, and sure enough, the quote marks appeared correctly.
I don't know the answer but I can commiserate because I had the same issue with Firefox on my tutorial. I had edited the raw materials topic uising a web editor and the resultant text then had the quotes showing up as blocks. I re-edited the file in vim and put back "normal" quotes and that seemed to fix it, but given that every other browser seemed happy with it, it was annoying.
I'll look forward to the responses from those more familiar with the vagaries of multiple encodings on the web...
