[LON-CAPA-users] Hebrew encoding

Lon-CAPA is trying to support other languages the only we are possibly
ever going to succeed at it, by using UTF-8.

Prior to version 2 we were not doing anything to pick or specify an
encoding unless the language settings of the user forced us to a
specfic encoding.

Starting with 2.x we are trying to make everything be outputted in
UTF-8 and are trying to get the browsers to always send us UTF-8
encoded info.

With the previous method we ended up with a mess of several different
encodings of characters in a single page. (<m> stuff was trying to be
a certain encoding, input from the user in dicussion was a 2nd
encoding and the language settings was a 3rd encoding.)
