I set charset = UTF-8 for the webserver, so hopefully it will find the correct default without needing to explicitly set it.

If you see weird characters like this showing up on people’s ~ web pages, it’s because our HTML files are no longer being served as UTF-8 by default.

To fix your own stuff, just put a little magic in each page’s <head> section:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
