OmniWeb is one of few Web browsers that display UTF-8 encoded Web pages. As
long as you have UCAS font with Unicode cmap, you should be able to display
it with the browser.

One dis-advantage of OmniWeb, by the way, for international use, is that it
requires that you set (in a preference panel) the encoding it uses for pages
that it renders; it doesn't know about looking at the HTML meta tags for
encoding.

It knows about the more-or-less complete Mac codeset repertoire; UTF-8 is
among them, but I think no other UCAS-capable encoding is available.
