The first thing to understand about character encoding is the overlap between UTF-8 and 8859-1. Below is a sample a - lower case a (Same in 8859-1 & UTF-8) à - a acute (Available in 8859-1 & UTF8 but different values..) éí - Chinese character (Not in 8859-1, in UTF-8)
A small clarification -- it's not really overlap, but rather UTF-8 is a super-set containing 8859-1 like both contain ASCII.
