I made some conversions to UTF-8 today.
I converted the Chinese page for Chess by viewing the source code in the correct encoding, then copying that into a UTF-8 document.
For the rest, I did conversions with a script. If a string was detected to be either ASCII or UTF-8, I left it alone. If a string that was neither ASCII nor UTF-8 was detected to be Windows-1252, I converted it from Windows-1252 to UTF-8. If it wasn't detected to be any of these, I detected its encoding and converted it from that to UTF-8.
I converted the first and last names in the Person table to UTF-8.
I converted the following items from MemberSubmissions to UTF-8. I checked the first one before doing the rest, and I checked a few random ones after running the conversion, each one checking out fine.
