== Character chart links ==
For the Unicode character charts, reverted the URL from http://www.unicode.org/charts/normalization/ back to http://www.unicode.org/charts/. The normalization charts only display the characters if you have the font already installed and do not seem to be as complete as the full charts available on the other URL. --[[User:Nate Silva|Nate]] 15:37 Mar 7, 2003 (UTC)
== Decimal vs hexadecimal ==
Hmm, I wasn't sure whether it was really more "intuitive" to use decimal instead of hexadecimal. I mean, both alternatives obscure the character, and the argument that "older web browsers" fail to parse hexadecimal is moot IMO since those web browsers will have a problem with non-8-bit characters anyway. I felt NPOV would dictate to say that in HTML, both hexadecimal and decimal can be used, so I changed that. [[User:Djmutex|Djmutex]] 10:51 May 2, 2003 (UTC)

::: AFAIK the "dynamic font switching" in MSIE is only a lookup up code ranges and languages to fonst. Fonts which aren't in these lookup tables are never considered for display. Now, if a poor piece of text is mapped to font X by these MSIE tables, all codepoints not covered in X will just not display! So, for a bad solution of this problem, MSIE users want an explicit font tag.
