If you are doing a web site and you only have sporadic use of turkish characters, can't you wrap that text in a div and assign it a language? I haven't done this before so I'm asking not suggesting. But I thought that I have seen that as a semantic way to show that there will be languages other than the native on a page. Now, is there also a way to designate the character encoding on a div or span?
Language, yes. You can use the lang attribute [1] to specify the language of any HTML element. Character encoding, no. That is set once for the whole document.
