[FX.php List] Filed name of the dial

[Leo R. Lundgren]

Why would using UTF8 in a UTF8 compliant system (FileMaker) be bad,  
especially considering the rest of the chain (PHP, web browsers, HTML,  
CSS, etc) handles UTF8 too?

Unicode and UTF8 is working well as the current/future encoding for  
text, so why not use it. Someone has to move forward, so that others  
will follow.
