Not exactly.  If you had a look on my first message, you would see that the
problem I see that the behaviour is not consistent.  Some time this data gets
through, and sometimes it does not.  I'd say that an arbitrary text in KOI8-R
can hardly be something reasonable in UTF-8, so I'd see that all (yes, ALL) my
requests would fail (and preferably with correct diagnostics).

Thanks.  I was looking for something like this in man page, but unfortunately
it does not have this information.

What are the requirements for this to work?
