There are still many programs (including web browsers and text editors, etc.) that cannot handle Unicode text properly. So, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP and ISO-2022-JP is preferrerd. But in some sites, entity references are used to display characters that are not included in legacy JIS character set. for example: http://piza.2ch.net/log/pcqa/kako/956/956613321.html http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~AE5T-KSN/anime/prog200112.html#abenobashi http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~AE5T-KSN/anime/prog200109.html#iwishyouwerehere KUSANO Takayuki <URL:http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~AE5T-KSN/>
