title: Changing encoding and charset to UTF-8
body: <p>We need our web application to handle additional characters - and so need to move from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. So my q is UTF-8 backwards compatible with ISO-8859-1?</p>
  
  <p>I have made the following changes, and can now handle all characters, but want to make sure there's no edge cases I'm missing. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Changed Content-Type:
  from "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" 
  to   "text/html; charset=UTF-8" </p></li>
  <li><p>Tomcat Connector URIEncoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
