Interspire Product Knowledge Base

It is strongly recommended that you use the default UTF-8 encoding for a number of reasons. These include:

• The third-party Flash-based graphs/charts can only display special characters with a UTF-8 encoding.
• Special characters in email subject lines can only be displayed when using a UTF-8 encoding (across all email clients).
  
• Data passed through the third-party ajax library is output in UTF-8.

Therefore, it is very difficult to manage a site that is not using UTF-8 encoding. At best you could only partially convert the site and, at worst, certain functionality could break.
