UTF-8

Since html2mobi failed to produce a correct mobi file for an html page I tested calibre. I tried to convert:

But calibre seemed to have the same problem with UTF-8 as my html2mobi. So is the web page incorrect? Or should I specify some flag to any2mobi?

As far as I know, any2mobi should handle UTF-8 perfectly well, though since llasram wrote the MOBI output code, he's the one to ask. What was the problem with the produced MOBI file?

In FBReader the UTF-8 characters (quotes) was not displayed correctly. I just did a wget on the URL and renamed that file to something ending in html and then ran any2mobi. Maybe I should test the result on my Cybook also...

OK, it worked on my Cybook so it must be my instance of FBReader that does not work properly.
