ThatÂs a funny one, indeed. When I opened it in Mozilla it was displayed as åæååååäåæååå.For a moment I thought it was Chinese (which I do not know) but it is gibberish. Mozilla thought it was Chinese Simplified GB 18030. The source says <html LANG="ja">. It is Japanese with shift-jis encoding, in reality it says ãåãåããããçãèã. (IsnÂt Unicode fun, allowing to put both variants in a mail message, just by copying from the Mozilla screen like this..) So, isnÂt the LANG attribute *more* irrelevant, because it did not help Mozilla (1.5a) to display the text correctly? A META tag attribute "charset=shift-jis" added to (a copy of) the page did. DoesnÂt that mean that "encoding" is more relevant than "language"? Regards, Jan -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
