If I remember right you wrote in some previous message this

<cite>
And if they care cutting and pasting from a Word document or a PDF,
chances are the document itself has the special characters. For
instance, Word can use different characters for left and right double
quotes, depending on the version and releases.

As far as I know all browsers (except Linx) convert characters from current
system codepage to current web page (defined by <meta> tag). If you define
your web page as UTF-8 all user's cut&paste must be converted by browser.
UTF-8 have defined all characters like windows-1250, windows-1252, koi8-r,
kanji and other "exotic" codepages.
