IE still truncates the French, rather than wrapping it. I will probably
have to resort to using br /, but that's far from ideal for boxes with
some flex to them or when users may have different fonts etc.

Thanks, Thierry. Yes, I'm beginning to conclude that that's the only thing
that I can do, too. It doesn't really solve the problem though, when you
have flexibility wrt box size or fonts, accessibility zooming, etc. Oh
well...
Glad you enjoyed the talk.

You're right. If you're using UTF-8 you only need to encode

Does anyone have a good quick reference as to which
characters are good on UTF-8? How about a faster or easier
way to type them in?
FWIW you may find this useful for Latin characters:

Interesting. Which validator are you using?
By rights, it shouldn't validate as is, since XML requires an XML
