By Trott:

Is there any benefit to refactoring that to be a preference setting so that people can use UTF-16 or something similarly insane if they so choose? Or is that over-engineering as UTF-8 will be the correct choice in pretty much all cases?

For what it's worth, I resolved this issue in my own branch by making this the first line of my .htaccess file:

````AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
````

Any idea if there are cases involving old phones or something where the headers are ignored and you need a meta tag instead like in your solution? (I guess I could be Not Lazy and follow the links you provide and see if they indicate anything.)
