I think that junk is what it's meant to be outputted, but then, I also
don't have any Korean knowledge/fonts. At least, the utf version I had
printed all characters in "*" since links detected that they were not
in my font.

The biggest concern was about Netscape 4.7, which doesn't show correctly
latin1 characters if the encoding is utf-8, but shows them properly if
the encoding is iso-8859-1.

In the end, the pages will keep using iso-8859-1 encoding where
apropiate, iso-8859-2 for Polish, euc-kr for Korean, etc, etc. This
will keep things working with Netscape. As for small overlapping
charsets, Grzegorz Godlewski just sent me some information about
using unicode characters within any encoding, so I could use that for
the specific places where it's needed.
