Just a quick note about charset encoding for the web: simply declaring that
a particular page is UTF-8 (or any other encoding) is like taking a badge
that says 4WD and slapping it on a sedan - it's only a label. What really
matters is that the file (page) is (as the name suggests) *encoded* as UTF-8
(or whatever). This is usually something that can be set in the preferences
of the particular editor you are using.

Here's a good overview:
