In reality, that's not always true, and it's too dangerous to let people put the string "UTF-8" without understanding what they are actually using. > The goal isn't to impart a full understanding of charset issues; it's to > get them to put in the right "magic ingredient" to make it "work". The most importaint thing is to label it correctly whatever character encoding they choose. Mislabeling something as "UTF-8" is much worse than using a legacy encoding correctly.
