Which is why they recommend showing it in separate text files rather than
inline.  My page uses images of it (I think--haven't touched the thing in
ages), and text behind for browsers that don't support images, like NEtscape
and Lynx. (I also put linx in for textonly browsers too, so they can see in
txt form)

HTML should ALWAYS be in ascii.  Any extended characters are supposed to be
represented through character elements like &yuml; (named entities) or
&7855; (unicode entities) although foreign alphabet sets usually ignore this
and stick to their own native encodings.
