+Zebra uses UTF-8 internally:
+
+1) New setting "encoding" for zebra.cfg that specifies encoding for
+OCTET terms in queries and record encoding for most transfer syntaxes
+(except those that use International Strings, such as GRS-1).
+
+2) The encoding of International strings is UTF-8 by default. It
+may be changed by character set negotiation. If character set
+negotiation is in effect and if records are selected for conversion
+these'll be converted to the selected character set - thus overriding
+the encoding setting in zebra.cfg.
+
+3) New directive "encoding" in .abs-files. This specifies the
+external for files indexed by zebra. However, if records themselves
+have an XML header that specifies and encoding that'll be used
+instead.
 
 XML filter (-t grs.xml).
