+Core.Encoding
+TYPE: istring
+DEFAULT: 'utf-8'
+--DESCRIPTION--
+If for some reason you are unable to convert all webpages to UTF-8, you can
+use this directive as a stop-gap compatibility change to let HTML Purifier
+deal with non UTF-8 input. This technique has notable deficiencies:
+absolutely no characters outside of the selected character encoding will be
+preserved, not even the ones that have been ampersand escaped (this is due
+to a UTF-8 specific <em>feature</em> that automatically resolves all
+entities), making it pretty useless for anything except the most I18N-blind
+applications, although %Core.EscapeNonASCIICharacters offers fixes this
+trouble with another tradeoff. This directive only accepts ISO-8859-1 if
+iconv is not enabled.
