Could the utf-8 one be removed? Or put in a simple re-direct perhaps

Best regards, Jon

It's already a redirect (but the other way around, thankfully since it documents the UTF-8 encoding):

$ cat man-pages/man7/utf8.7
.so man7/utf-8.7

Maybe the web interface could be improved to use actual redirect like the real man-pages does.
