Not exactly, the *bytes* that clients send your when *they* type ü
depends on what their client likes. The \374-values you see seem to be
from iso8859-1 or similar. You can also see real umlauts, so some users
seem to send you byte-streams that are compatible with your
utf8-settings.

Yes.

This may be an interesting feature. I think it would already help alot
if at least utf8 is recognised automagically. Hubs using different
old charsets should not be that common, are they?
