    Yes. The W3C site has quite a lot of these, too, even if they are
    fortunately usually limited to single characters such as the copyright
    sign. Here's an example:
    http://www.w3.org/2001/Annotea/User/Papers.html

    They are often the result of the download path and the upload path
    being different in terms of how they handle character encoding information.
