As I understand it, that's precisely the problem. Anything entered in the AppDB
since the switch is UTF-8. Older entries are littered with ISO-8859-1
characters. Switching the website codepage back to ISO-8859-1 would fix the
display of ISO-8859-1 characters, but cause the UTF-8 characters to display
incorrectly. Either way, entries are going to have to be fixed manually. Since
the rest of the website is UTF-8, it makes more sense to me to change the
ISO-8859-1 characters to UTF-8 than the other way around. Feel free to correct
me if I'm mistaken.
