Weird thing happening with UTF-8 file type...

I have found UTF-8 to be highly recommended - and a significant pain in my ass. When I load older projects in they choke on weird ass errors and request me to provide transliteration - seems the single comma (') mark causes me problems.

Also I found problems with the dash (-). Even now I have a piece of my code where in my acceptable characters regex it has two dashes that look exactly alike - but their character codes are different, and if I remove either of them my site stops working in a few select places.

Pain in the ass! Character encoding blows monkey eggs - with IDE's, window/unix/mac differences, and databases all having their own preferences and ideas and conversion pains...I say phewey!
