Indeed. My knowledge about HTML is pretty basic, but I am sort of
familiar with coding the encoding ;) . Not the encoding was the
problem, but the font. As you said, I got boxes (and for some reason,
the Palatino Linotype font, which I like a lot, displays
fleurs-de-lys in the same situation).

Well, perhaps the real problem is IE6.0. Is there a way to tell it to
use a different font when a page is encoded UTF-8?
