-ikiwiki should support utf-8 pages, both input and output
+ikiwiki should support utf-8 pages, both input and output. To test, here's a
+utf-8 smiley:

+# ☺
 
 Currently ikiwiki is belived to be utf-8 clean itself; it tells perl to use
 binmode when reading possibly binary files (such as images) and it uses
 utf-8 compatable regexps etc.
 
-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).
-
-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.)

-The following problems have been observed when running ikiwiki this way:
+There may be the odd corner where utf-8 still doesn't work; these are being
+fixed as they're found.
 
-* If invalid utf-8 creeps into a file, ikiwiki will crash rendering it as

+Notes:
 
-	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.
+* Apache "AddDefaultCharset on" settings will not play well with utf-8
+  pages. Turn it off.
 
-  In this example, a literal 0x97 character had gotten into a markdown
-  file.
