[SLUG] Linux and Windows character sets

You've probably all seen this: certain characters on some websites (and
other places) display as '?' instead of what they really are (usually
typographical quote marks and the like). This is only a problem on
Linux; Windows appears to display these things properly. I believe this
is a question of character sets or locales or somesuch. The question is
which character/locale setting set does Windows use, and how to fix
this?
