Browsers are supposed to return data in the same encoding as the page,
so, for example, if your page is encoded as UTF-8, data the users enter
on the page will be returned to the server in UTF-8. I handle a lot of
Japanese, and I've been using XHTML pages encoded as UTF-8 and PHP for
handling the scripts, and it's been going in and out of my UTF-8
encoded database just fine.

Good luck!
