-utf-8 IO is not enabled by default though. While you can probably embed
-utf-8 in pages anyway, ikiwiki will not treat it right in the cases where
-it deals with things on a per-character basis (mostly when escaping and
-de-escaping special characters in filenames).
+There may be the odd corner where utf-8 still doesn't work; these are being
+fixed as they're found.

 
 

-To enable utf-8, edit ikiwiki and add -CSD to the perl hashbang line.
-(This should probably be configurable via a --utf8 or better --encoding=
-switch.)
+Notes:

 
 

-The following problems have been observed when running ikiwiki this way:
+* Apache "AddDefaultCharset on" settings will not play well with utf-8
+  pages. Turn it off.

 
 

-* If invalid utf-8 creeps into a file, ikiwiki will crash rendering it as
-  follows:
-
-       Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0x97, with no preceding start byte) in substitution iterator at /usr/bin/markdown line 1317.
-       Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at /usr/bin/markdown line 1317.
-
-  In this example, a literal 0x97 character had gotten into a markdown
-  file.
