Just wanted to point out that you can do this straight form quanta as well :-)
And personally I'd say utf-8 is the way to go as far as encodings just because 
if you ever need international characters some day it's pretty much the 
preferred standard. Even if you do end up just saving in plain old plain text 
you don't lose anything.
