There is only one problem: not everybody has Unicode fonts and not everybody
can have Unicode fonts (many people are still stuck with fonts of only 255
characters). Unicode is still not a standard on all computers. And it even
seems that Unicode doesn't show properly on computers that have Unicode (the
computer I'm using has Unicode fonts, and still there are webpages that show up
with little boxes where there should be characters. I'm gonna try your sites
and tell you if it works on my computer)..
