It's probably because, when you fetch the file over HTTP, the server knows it's in UTF-8 and tells NetSurf so, but when you load a local file, RISC OS doesn't tell NetSurf what encoding it's in and so NetSurf is reduced to guesswork. Presumably whatever encoding it defaults to is not the correct one in your case. -- __<^>__ === RISC OS is a work of art.

Only if you include the full stop at the end of that URL. I originally got the "We're sorry..." message, as I assumed that a URL didn't usually have a full stop at the end of it!

Unicode on local pages
With NetSurf #739. If I browse http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0173%3Atext%3DSym. it displays OK. If I save or do a full save of the page, and then browse the resulting local page the Greek text displays as garbage.
