If you see "â" in Word or Acrobat (reader) then this is a character. If you
see quote or bullet then this is a quote or bullet. Value of character code
is not important at this moment. IMHO user must cut text in Word or Acrobat
and paste in browser and at this moment all clipboard content is converted
to UTF-8 or UTF-16 as you have defined in html (php) page.
I have many pages where users paste text into <texarea> from Word, Acrobat,
Corel and more applications and I have no problem with converting characters
because my pages are defined as unicode (UTF-16) and my database too. For my
pages is irrelevant if user is Czech, English, German, Japanese, Russian or
Martian :-)
My recommendations is: if you have problem with charsets, use unicode
(UTF-16) at all.
