Updated article: Character encodings for beginners

http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-what-is-encoding

This article was updated to emphasize that UTF-8 should be the default 
character encoding on the Web. In addition, editorial changes were made 
to improve the readability of the article and bring it in line with more 
recent templates.

Please could you contact me to obtain the source text, so that you can 
update your translation appropriately, or let me know if you are unable to.

thank you,
