Can somebody explain what is happening when this is set?

The content then somehow gets processed by TYPO3?
Chars will beconverted?
How?

Does this need any special care for mysqld as well. (Especially for 
UTF-8)? Or is this all taken care of just by "[BE][forceCharset]"?

I do have problems with "non-SGML" as well right now and don't 
understand the background yet. ;(
Any hints appreciated. ;)

Thx,
Peter
