Which encoding of 8-bit characters? It's at least bad citizenship to
use other than ASCII without signalling the encoding. Please add a
character encoding declaration to the HTML header, as follows:
<HEAD>
. . .
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
. . .
</HEAD>
and then many more browsers on many more platforms will see the right thing.
