Trac ticket: Core-63815

The files in this commit have previously contained text encoded as Windows-1252 (commonly mistaken for latin1/ISO-8859-1), in ways that present invalid UTF-8 bytes.

This commit converts the encodings to UTF-8, which resolves the encoding issues. While the whole-posts document could be argued to be intentionally Windows-1252, there was no obvious evidence that this was more than an historic legacy. The JavaScript file, however, definitely ought to be UTF-8.

Some things to be aware of

  • All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
  • All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
  • A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
  • Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
