Sorry to come late to this parade. Just wanted to add a couple of
things I learned to watch out for.
1. If you can, choose a font for the editor that supports the
characters (glyphs) you want to use.
2. Make sure that the font-family for the web page will display
these glyphs. Browsers *may* make a substitution, but don't
count on it.
3. Make sure your FTP options are set to transfer all files as binary
*not* as ASCII.
Cordially,
David
