[Icecast] non latin1 streaming

Hello, I searched through the archives and found a suggestion for a 
cyrillic DJ to put the following in icecast.xml:

<mount>
<mount-name>/mountnamehere</mount-name>
<charset>UTF-8</charset>
</mount>

This was to resolve his problem of displaying cyrillic characters on both
the status page and presumably on to listeners/players

My problem is that ocassionally I have Japanese characters in a playlist
(mixed with English characters).  From what I can tell in error.log for
icecast, these Japanese characters are making it in, but they do not 
display properly on the status page nor in the players/listeners.  I added
the section above to icecast.xml where /mountnamehere is the name of my
mountpoint which is listed in the status page. 

Is there anything else I should do?
