This can be a confusing area. One needs to be sensitive to what
the byte values are when saying they do/don't display correctly. That is,
the text may be for another character set without us being aware of it.
In a communications environment both sides get to play this game, and we
don't know what the other side is doing. In the present case we don't know
if there is another side, and if there is then what it's like, etc. Perhaps
you can fill in the blanks for us.
