What an interesting thread, this. But I have a basic question. Let us say I am building a website today. It is multilingual, and needs to cater to people who don't quite know what a "browser" is. They just use ""the internet", which could be IE 3 or Netscape 4 -- just because it did not occur to them that they need to upgrade (and I speak of a very big firm here in Tokyo). Currently, let us say we use big5 for Chinese and Shift_JIS for Japanese content respectively. Assuming this is old hat, how should we build websites that allow us to be future-proof and support standards? Specifically, how should we convert to UTF-8 etc? Is there any suggested guideline we should follow? Any tool that allows us to convert big5 formatted text to UTF-8 text? Would appreciate some insight. Thanks, Shashank
