Yes, that's what happens when you echoing something that's not within your
charset.

Printing high-bit chars can be weird, at best.  Our editor's format their
own HTML, but they also use stuff like Word and Quark, so I came up with a
blacklist mapping solution to keep any HTML we want but convert the high-bit
stuff like:

char(133) => '...' 
char(147) => '&quote;'
char(148) => '&quote;'
char(162) => '&cent;'
char(163) => '&pound;'
char(165) => '&yen;'

etc
