 chatting] with @peterwilsoncc moving to 6.7 for consideration.

 An alternative (perhaps a bit safer?) patch would be to hard-code this
 directly in `fetch_feed()`. Replace `$feed->set_output_encoding(
 get_option( 'blog_charset' ) );` with:

 {{{
 $blog_charset = get_option( 'blog_charset' );

 if ( empty( $blog_charset ) ) {
     $blog_charset = 'UTF-8';
 }

 $feed->set_output_encoding( $blog_charset );
 }}}
