Exactly. The narod.ru sets win1252 by default. It may be changed by personal
demand to the admin, but I don't bother - I merely enter all the extra
characters I need as &#XXXX; - then they should be readable any way.
Code2000, Arial Unicode MS and Everson Mono Unicode have all the characters
in the Box drawing range. You may try them - they are .ttf
