Hello Vaska, I think you are mixing two things which should be separated. The first problem is the language of the page (defined in the header) or the language of a block (defined like <div lang='en-us' in a german document). Your page is english - so mark it as english. The second problem is how to create a non-ascii character. There you can use a codepage, ISO-8859-6 or something - and then you will have problems showing characters which are not in this special codepage. Additionally, you may use the hex-code (A = A), but this is also hard: Read a chinese text coded with entities - its not possible. There it's better to use UTF-8 - you will see the characters directly. Additionally, you may use some of the mathematical symbols, dingbats (x2701 - x27BE) or the IPA (international phonetic alphabet). These with entities - terrible. But you can't define a language - you can use all these symbols in any language you can write.
