(was Re: Kana characters?) To: Alan Deikman <[email protected]> Hi Alan, To clear confusion, the symbols used in the <hiraganaSym> tags are actual fonts of the UTF-8 hexadecimal value. As long as its true fonts and not an image, it is exactly the same as putting the hexadecimal value in its place. When I used the font symbols(which is what the encoding produces) and the hexadecimal values, when I viewed it in the browser, they both came up with the symbols (check the other message for the output) I hope that clears things up!
