Text encoding.

[J. Landman Gay]

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.
