*sigh* Time for me to call it the day and go home, it seems. Opera 6.05/Win32 does *not* get it right if you have it on View -> Encoding -> Automatic detection.
Why I was fooled in the below message was that the Encoding setting seems to stick even if I exit and restart Opera, that's why my test page seemed to be working. If I turn it back to autodetect, it doesn't autodetect the UTF-8-ness. (If nothing else this bumbling saga of mine illustrates how difficult it still is to get all this "just to work".) -----Original Message----- From: Hietaniemi Jarkko (NRC/Boston) Sent: 25 September, 2002 04:56 PM To: Hietaniemi Jarkko (NRC/Boston); 'ext Tex Texin'; 'WWW International'; 'Unicoders' Subject: RE: glyph selection for Unicode in browsers > I cannot help the wrong result.

After some experimentation it seems that I blamed Opera 6.05/Win32 wrongly, it guesses the charset right. But as pointed out by Tex, HTTP/HTML charset ponderings are probably not Unicode issue as such, they are more a WWW issue, sorry about the slight off-topicalness.
