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.

Other than that minor clarification, you've been spot-on with your advice.
