Is this strictly true? I think there are cases where the results are
sent back ISO-8859-1. It would not surprise me if there was a more
complex algorithm which tried to determine the requesting browser.
I love UTF-8 but some older browsers do not tolerate it very well.
Sigh.

Did anyone notice that Google now uses Unicode (UTF-8) in displaying the
search results? No more of that 'This page contains Russian characters
that..'
