Isn't that what Accept: and Content-Type: headers are for?

Oh... apparently seems like a cheap workaround for broken MSIE:

http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/168751/is-the-use-of-utf8-✓-preferable-to-utf8-true

Still seems inadvisable to me.

It's a trick web devs use to get certain browsers to switch on UTF8 support, 
IIRC.

Pardon my thickness, but what is the purpose of the "utf8" parameter anyway? 
Removing it from the query string appears to have no material impact on the 
results:

 I had the same issue trying to link to an individual error code. You may have 
to go the Amazon route and write something like “ŸÉŠ” for the Unicode trick?

Hi Seth,

Thanks for this. It is a great resource. I just tried to embed a link to a 
search for all the CoreVideo error codes into a tweet, but twitter doesn’t like 
the tick mark as a character in a url. Can you change that?
