I can only confirm what others said. However, as to the "_have_" above, I have to say that there are implementation techniques that don't require this, assuming that everything before <meta.... charset=...> is ASCII only. You can e.g. use C++ input streams that allow for filters to be pushed on top of them, where the filter is doing the conversion. Probably not available in standard C++, but in a library I use.
