Correction - by default Expression Web has always defaulted to UTF-8 encoding. This caused a lot of problems for people using PHP with Expression Web in the first version because Expression added a BOM to every page with UTF-8 encoding and PHP pages would show three Greek characters. In version 2 the ability to turn off the BOM while still using UTF-8 encoding resolved that issue. Dreamweaver defaults to UTF-8 as well. FrontPage did default to Windows encoding but even there you could change the default to UTF-8. The number of people using FrontPage has been decreasing significantly since it is no longer offered for sale by Microsoft.

Pyatt However, you do need to make sure you really are generating Unicode. Dreamweaver and Notepad (Windows)/BBEdit (Mac) do a good job once the set up is finished - but FrontPage, Word or Microsoft Expression tend to be set for Win-1252 (not a reliable Web standard).
