I've never had any problems with accented characters in UTF-8 on any gecko browser (firefox for my main linux box, camino for mac) although I've never tested PC browsers or Safari. Personally, I'd highly recommend that everyone uses UTF-8, because after working on a project for internationalization, I've realized that trying to detect and support even a few charsets is a real pain in the you-know-where. iconv works really well at reencoding data, so maybe give it a shot.

Of course if you leave out the encoding from the meta header, IE can only use a heuristic or fall back to the default system encoding. But that's certainly not an argument against utf-8! ;)
Not at all.... but to be fair, I think Zoltan refers to font- changes, i.e. it displays and decodes the utf-8 alright, but it draws 'weird' characters from a (style-wise) visually different font. I don't see this in Safari. Don't know about the PC browsers.
