-=head2 Unicode
+=head2 Unicode (pre Catalyst v5.90080)
+
+B<NOTE> Starting with L<Catalyst> v5.90080 unicode and encoding has been
+baked into core, and the default encoding is UTF-8. The following advice
+is for older versions of L<Catalyst>.
Be sure to set C<< ENCODING => 'utf-8' >> and use
L<Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding> if you want to use non-ascii
-characters (encoded as utf-8) in your templates.
+characters (encoded as utf-8) in your templates. This is only needed if
+you actually have UTF8 literals in your templates and the BOM is not
+properly set. Setting encoding here does not magically encode your
+template output. If you are using this version of L<Catalyst> you need
+to all the Unicode plugin, or upgrade (preferred)
+
+=head2 Unicode (Catalyst v5.90080+)
+
+This version of L<Catalyst> will automatically encode your body output
+to UTF8. This means if your variables contain multibyte characters you don't
+need top do anything else to get UTF8 output. B<However> if your templates
+contain UTF8 literals (like, multibyte characters actually in the template
+text), then you do need to either set the BOM mark on the template file or
+instruct TT to decode the templates at load time via the ENCODING configuration
+setting. Most of the time you can just do:
+
+ MyApp::View::HTML->config(
+ ENCODING => 'UTF-8');
+
+and that will just take care of everything. This configuration setting will
+force L<Template> to decode all files correctly, so that when you hit
+the finalize_encoding step we can properly encode the body as UTF8. If you
+fail to do this you will get double encoding issues in your output (but again,
+only for the UTF8 literals in your actual template text.)
+
+Again, this ENCODING configuration setting only instructs template toolkit
+how (and if) to decode the contents of your template files when reading them from
+disk. It has no other effect.

+This lets you override the default content type for the response. If you do

+Use this if you are creating alternative view responses, such as text or JSON
+and want a global setting.
+
+Any content type set in your controllers before calling this view are respected
+and have priority.
