I remember somewhere that at conversion time the old

are converted to UTF-8. At present I do my addition of all kinds of
names for languages in the nl-wiktionary, words like ᎳᏛᏈ translate to
[[ᎳᏛᏈ]]. This turns up perfectly well on the
en:wikitonary. I just realised that this may not be as simple as that.
My question, should these charactercodes be converted again on en:wiktionary ??
I'm not sure I understand your question. An inter-wiki link like
[[chr:ᎳᏛᏈ]] certainly works, regardless of whether the
wiki you put it on is in UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1. As for article titles, you
should not try to create articles on the English Wikipedia (or any other
ISO-8859-1 Wikipedia) that uses non-ISO-8859-1 characters. Since
chr.wikipedia.org is already on UTF-8, it is no problem there.
To save some disk space, it might be worth converting all the HTML
entities to UTF-8 characters when we convert the English Wikipedia, but
this is not strictly necessary.
