Due to this morning's low reading comprehension I tried input as "autodetect" and output as "Windows-1251" and that eliminated the strange characters and random euro-currency appearances in the file-in-quesion. Then I went back and did what you suggest in the paragraph below, and that works as well.
Thanks very much!

It displays fine in browsers, but Plucker displays something with a euro-denomination character in it.
You will need to make sure you specify that the input encoding is utf-8, and the output encoding is "whatever you want", which is typically going to be Windows-1251 (the encoding the Palm side uses).
I just plucked this with JPluck 2.1.6b, and specified 'utf-8' as the "Input encoding" (second tab), and left the output encoding at the default. It seems to work fine.
I've tried UTF-8, Mac, and default character sets for the plucked file.
I then tried to pluck it with the Python distiller, passing in the right charset, and it fails to parse it properly. I think that might be a bug.
