That's precisely the solution that worked for me, though I should say that I only tested this in Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 9.04. The below blog post circa 2006 suggests that IE at least uses some behind-the-scenes magic to decide on an encoding when the declaration doe not appear in the Content headers. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html But I can't say I know how browsers handle the issue these days. I too would be interested in hearing from others on this topic. Meantime, for anyone else who stumbles into this, below are a few links I've found useful as I try to wrap my brain around Unicode (several have been mentioned on this list previously). http://eric.themoritzfamily.com/2008/11/21/python-encodings-and-unicode/ http://evanjones.ca/python-utf8.html http://wesc.livejournal.com/1743.html http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/unicode http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/utils/encoding.py _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
