    Please don't confuse character set with character encoding. The
    problem we are talking about here is about character encoding.

    Once upon a time the two were muddled; that's why MIME and HTTP use
    "charset" to mean character encoding.

    And the answer is: yes, you can store it wherever you want :)

    It's not a font problem. XMMS simply displays each byte as a separate
    character because that's what it assumes it should do. No font will fix that.
