in the <head> section of the page you may see a meta tag similar to
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">

The page's encoding is whatever follows charset=
without the closing ".

If this meta tag is not present, leave the Google code as it is, and see if
there are any problems with the page rendering. Any problems will show up
with some characters displaying as a query mark (?).
Post back here if that happens, including a link to your published web site.
