Hi,

Our corpus is encoded in UTF-8 but when I create a text file with the 
output of some search I get the typical odd characters one gets when the 
conversion has gone wrong. I used the 'file' command and I saw that the 
text files are sometimes encoded as ISO-8859 and some other times as 
ASCII. Is there anyway to configure things so that the UTF-8 character 
set is maintained? Thanks.
