Subject:RE: Russian words in German HTML documents From:Darren Barefoot <Darren -dot- Barefoot -at- capeclear -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 5 Dec 2001 10:45:02 -0000
Hi,
This page - http://home.att.net/~jameskass/ - may be of some use to you. It
discusses multiple language support in browsers, and includes some nifty
charts of Unicode characters. From the looks of things, you can insert
unicode tags in HTML pages like this <p>ϵ</p>, which appears to be an
example of a cyrillic character (I'm not really up on my Russian). Browser
versions may be an issue, but I think that page may have some info on it.
Hope that helps. Thanks. DB.
