Hi,

I don't think this has already been mentioned. Of course, the most important
thing is to set the character set of the HTML document. See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encodings_in_HTML

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encodings_in_HTML>Basically, you
need the following line in the header of the document (HEAD) for a non-xhtml
document:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">


or if you are using xhtml then before the header you want:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


*let us know if you got it working.*
