Re: utf8, japanese, web-pages, the horror, the horror...

Thanks for your advice... the output does look different, this time, 
but it still doesn't look like utf8... (I get the same error with 
recode).

If somebody could suggest a way to convert to another encoding, or a 
better way to identify the encoding of eac page, that would also be 
fine (once I have control over the encodings, I think I can find some 
way to convert back to utf8 (eg, via recode).

Thanks again,

Marco
