The unicode characters are standardized. The problems come from the high characters of the first page characters (128-255) which are codepage dependant. If a page uses characters from this range it needs a codeset specifier (which is often omitted --> problems) like:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Jon, I said sorry because I like you and I did not like proving you wrong ;-)
