Description: I think UTF-8 should be the default encoding used by PmWiki. It is well supported by every modern OS and browser and not using it seems to cause a lot of bugs (looking at the issues list).

Did you know, for instance, that ISO-8859-1 doesn't even include the euro symbol? This causes all sorts of weird problems, e.g. http://www.wikipublisher.org/wiki/index.php?n=Issues.00104
