Note that "®" is defined in the 8859-1 character set - it is character code 174. Any modern browser seeing the "content-type" indicating a charset of ISO 8859-1 should present that symbol correctly. I understand Linda's concern though - if I write a document using "®", it may be because I'm writing to support a browser that doesn't recognise 8859-1, and instead interprets character code 174 as something else (eg: IBM PC extended ASCII or Cyrillic CP855 code "«"). The author has used "®" instead of ® for a reason. Perhaps they're writing for a text-to-speech converter on a particular platform which can vocalise "®" but trips over "®". At my place of work, "®" is used because the ancient web services software the suit-wearing Windows monkeys are using doesn't believe that character codes above 127 are valid (and it only believes in the existence of IE5 or IE6).
