The Unicode home page includes the following line, right where it should be, in the <head> section: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> Any User Agent that takes a page properly marked as UTF-8, as above, and still tries to autodetect a local code page, is badly misguided. How would it handle a real UTF-8-encoded euro sign (0xE2 0x82 0xAC)? -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
