[I realise there was a recent related 'Character-sets for dummies'[1]
discussion recently] 

I am using tictocs[2] list of journal RSS feeds, and I am getting
gibberish in places for diacritics. Below is an example:

in emacs:
 221	Acta Ortop  dica Brasileira	http://www.scielo.br/rss.php?pid=1413-7852&lang=en	1413-7852	
in Firefox:
 221	Acta Ortop  dica Brasileira	http://www.scielo.br/rss.php?pid=1413-7852&lang=en	1413-7852

Note that the emacs view is both of a save of the Firefox, and from a
direct download using 'wget'.

Is this something on my end, or are the tictocs people not serving
proper UTF-8? 

The HTTP header from wget claims UTF-8:
> wget -S http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/text.php
> --2009-12-21 12:47:59--  http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/text.php

><....stuff removed>

Can someone validate if they are also experiencing this issue?

Thanks,
Glen
