    Let me just make sure I understand your question. You're sending an email
    encoded in some native Urdu encoding (whatever that may be), and you're
    looking at the emails in Yahoo/Hotmail, which send data to the browser
    encoded using UTF-8, and you're wondering how it does the conversion?

     

    Like most character set conversions, they probably convert it from whatever
    the source encoding is to some form of Unicode (usually whatever is most
    convenient for the platform), and then into whatever output encoding they
    wanted (in this case UTF-8).

     

    If "whatever is most convenient for the platform" is UTF-8, then they may
    just convert directly from the source encoding to UTF-8.

     

    Dean.
