Interesting... I tried to put a pound sign on my web page, and it came out garbled, so I had to replace it with "£"...

You may need to specify a "content encoding" in the HTML header. For that, you need to know the encoding your HTML file is saved in. Unicode works fine, but encodings can be a bit of a minefield...

Lest I am painted as unhelpful(*), http://www.vex.net/~trebla/u.html exemplifies what can be done and how to do it. In particular, you must always specify a content encoding in the HTML header, and you must always order your editor to write out UTF-8. (*) Whatever happened to the good old spirit of just saying "RTFM"?
