UTF-8 problem with Apache

I'm about to start on a project which will be translated into several
languages; English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. Because of these
requirements, I'm using UTF-8 for all languages.

Unfortunately, I'm having some problems with multibyte characters; they show
up as question marks when viewing a page.

I'm not sure why this is happening. Sniffing the HTTP response shows that
the characters are literal ASCII question marks.

Further testing seems to indicate that this is an Apache issue; running the
same stuff with the PHP binary from a Unicode-aware XTerm works fine. I set
AddDefaultCharset to utf-8 in my httpd.conf, but that didn't work.


I have observed identical behavior with:

Debian sarge (current as of right now)
PHP 4.3.8-9
Apache 1.3.31-5

Debian woody
PHP 4.1.2-7.0.1
Apache 1.3.26-0woody5

Does anyone know what's wrong here?
