Comment (by azaozz):

 Let me get the steps to reproduce this right:

 - go to the write page and type 2 sentences while your browser is set to
 UTF-8.

 - save the post still in UTF-8 or are you switching the encoding in the
 middle of typing?

 - view the post on the site and force the browser to display it in
 ISO-8859-1.

 At this point any UTF-8 chars would show as broken. That seems to be the
 standard browser behavior. Forcing to view a web page in different
 encoding would break some chars. All browsers have charset auto-detection,
 so even if the charset isn't set in the header, they still display the
 text correctly. The same happens in the editor iframe.

 Couldn't reproduce this in Firefox 3. It was switching back to UTF-8 and
 displaying the text correctly.

 If you have problems in your custom plugin, perhaps use the solution from
 #6562 to filter out the Unicode for nbsp, although it's a valid HTML
 character.
