[TYPO3-dev] convert to metaCharset or renderCharset?

I must do this conversion for the data I return to the xAjax call and 
data read in from the extensions tables by SQL calls.

I think I have found the answer here:

If renderCharset and metaCharset are different the output content is 
automatically converted to metaCharset before output.

So metaCharset will be used if it is different to renderCharset.
