We are gradually moving our pages to UTF-8 as we update them.
Secondly, UTF-8 is recommended for web pages over UTF-16. Thirdly, you
are always better off explicitly declaring a charset in all web pages.

Kind of a historical supplement to the Unicode Standard!

it seems important enough to document these "stories" of the characters where there is

In typography, an em equals the full height of the type body at a given
size, so for 12 point type the em equals 12 points. An em quad is a square

They are canonically equivalent, so no Unicode-conformant process
should treat them differently in any way. EM SPACE is preferred.
Ditto with EN QUAD and EN SPA

Effectively, there is none.
The encoding of both was the result of an unfortunate misunderstanding during
the development of Unicode 1.0.
The EM QUAD and EN QUAD derive from XCCS
An EM QUAD is a square [space] with sides equal to the point size of the
font. An EM SPACE is a horizontal measure, usually equal to the side of an
em quad. In condensed fonts, the em space is sometimes smaller than that,

Best guess?? An EM SPACE takes up the space of an "em". The em quad, on the other
Hand Consistently Energizes the space of em-squared.

Could someone explain to me what is the difference between an EM QUAD and an
EM SPACE ?

I would not say that override should be impossible. I was merely saying that
if the given charset is specified and is correct, and you change it to
something invalid then it is their fault if the results are bad.

Unfortunately, there are many Hebrew pages wrongly marked as 8859-1, and many more
unmarked. So letting the user override the charset specification is necessary. I was
told similar situations are known in Russia and Greece.

With an IPA input method, of course. (That was easy!)
Hopefully by the end of the year such will be available from SIL's site.
(We have one there now, but it's for a custom 8-bit encoding.)
