Michael,
Since I do not know how to enter UTF-8 on your platform, I wrote a short
Java application that converts a file from any supported charset encoding
to any other supported charset encoding. You can edit your HTML files in
whatever character set you have available, then run this app to convert it
to UTF-8. If it doesn't work for you, you can modify it until it does.
An example of correct syntax is the following:
java Converter oldfile.txt Big5 newfile.txt UTF-8
Have fun.
Regards,
John O'Conner

Yes, Arnold, I have Communicator 4.05. I need to know how to put Unicode
characters in my page though.
