html and special characters

!hola!

to use unicode in your html pages you'll only need to add a single line in the
head section of the document:

[meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8">

i've made two small demos
* http://cethanngir.de.vu/unicode.html
this demo lets you enter a range in unicode and then prints out a table of the
respective characters as they will be displayed in your browser;

as you can see, unicode reserves a range called "combined diacritical marks" with
which you can then easily manufacture the glyphs you require, i.e.
vowel+acute+ogonek

please note that the used font is "Lucida Sans Unicode" which should be available to
most platforms (IIRC, it is shipped with the JavaRuntime additionally);

* http://cethanngir.de.vu/convert.html
this demo converts a pasted-in text into the htmlized (&#nnnn;) equivalent which
could afterwards be copied into your html source documents;
