This may well invalidate the code, but it will be gone soon if it does…
Testing characters imported from M$ Word
“Double quotes”
‘Single quotes’
£ Pound symbol
& Ampersand (Wordpress automatically converts this character to a HTML entity…)
update:
hmmm, it seems that pages encoded as UTF-8, will validate when word characters are imported, does anyone know of any issues with this encoding?
update 2
I am informed that UTF-8 may kill older browsers…
…
…Good.

UTF-8 is the only way to publish!
If you want a rant on the differences between “UTF-8″ and “utf8″ though, give me a moment to get warmed up
*sigh*
If you want it to work on every platform, you’re stuck with ASCII-127. If you want eg. pound signs, you have to make a decision, unfortunately.
UTF-8 (with a proper DOCTYPE, natch - are you listening, BBC?) is the best of a bad bunch, IMNSHO.
