As XHTML is an XML application, character set issues solely depend on 
the capabilities of your XML processor. From an XML point of view, 
*every* character set is supported. Just your XML processor (i.e. your 
browser) has to support it. Most processors should support the several 
UTF encodings, so it's probably best to write in UTF-16 or so.
