Really? Hmm. Which version of Windows and which browser? My page says
it's using unicode encoding, but your browser may not have detected it?

My laptop is Win2000, and the browsers are IE6, Mozilla, Pheonix, and
Opera 7. This is one of the reasons I haven't quite embraced unicode.
While the browser support is technically there, it's not completely
there. & not everyone has the latest stuff.
