+1 for switching to UTF-8

The HTML files may already use UTF-8 (?), but the parser may emit HTML in

I am not sure why the parser should emit HTML in system-dependent encoding.
Why simply not use UTF-8 as suggested in PR [1]?

Back to the original problem, how can we solve the problem with compilation
on Windows 2016 without changing the code base of grass78 significantly?
BTW, I was able to compile grass78 on the same machine a few weeks ago and
I don't see any related changes in v.random.html... (?)
