If you look at the page source you will probably see that the page includes a
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=BIG5"> or
equivalent. This tells the browser what encoding the page is in. Without
this, or the HTTP equivalent the browser does not know and you have to set
the encoding using the menu.
