Re: Unicode Characters on RISC OS 5

How do other systems implement this?

That's what puzzles me too.

For example, my post to this thread (on January 2) contains a few UTF8
encoded characters, typically на медленн, which I copied from a
Unicode document. On our system, they are displayed as... well, as above.

However, when I view the same mail via Google with Firefox on a Windows 7
computer, this orcish curse appears to be replaced by the original cyrillic
text! Magically, at least for me, because I didn't add any encoding
information.

Martin, please shine your light on this.

Kind regards,
