I made the same mistake at first. The concepts felt backward to me, it
seemed like we should encode text into the format we were aiming for. So If
I wanted UTF16 I should encode it that way. If I wanted UTF8 for outbound
text I should decode the UTF16 that LC uses.
When the receiving server scripts went haywire I finally figured it out,
but not before the Rails programmer wrote code to undo the gibberish I was
sending.
