2007 technique for converting a latin1 table to utf8

found this approach to converting table content from latin1 to utf8:

blog.makezine.com/2007/05/08/mysql-database-migration-latin/

haven't tried it yet so not sure but thought post it for anyone with more experience with this who could comment

seems a good idea overall to convert to utf8 if possible

Never attempt ANY such conversion on a live site. Ever. Period.
