    If they're just static HTML pages, you can put an override for the encoding
    in a <meta> header, like so:

    <html>
      <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" value="text/html; charset=Big5" />
        ... rest of the file here ...

    You should put it *before* any actual big5 characters appear (though it
    should still work if you don't - the browser is supposed to start parsing
    over again once it sees that header)

    Dean.
