Re: TECH: Front Page Express et al.

XML and HTML 4.0 and later's default encoding is UTF-8 (a form of Unicode);
earlier versions of HTML used Latin-1. Both of these encodings have the
characters a selection of accented characters. Be worried if it encodes
s-haczek (i think that's its name. upsidedown circumflex) without
converting it, but the three examples you've given are fine.
