Don't know what to tell you, Dicho. I see A-macron in IE, and ? in Netscape. I think probably the problem is in the page design; it probably needs a META tag that specifies "utf-8" as the "charset". My guess is that in the absence of contrary prompting, IE jumps to the conclusion that a string of characters that looks like Ā should be read as the Unicode character so designated, whereas Netscape only makes that leap of faith when specifically prompted.

As for utf-7 vs. utf-8, I have no experience with the former. All the Unicode pages I've seen use utf-8. My understanding (hazy) is that utf-7 is used in certain situations where you need 7-bit as opposed to 8-bit encoding of odd characters (some older email systems, Bitnet or whatever). Don't know. It's all improperly encoded Greek to me...
