That's what occurred to me immediately. Should work with any Unicode-based browser. UTF-8 is the more compact 8-bit Unicode Transformation Format, which encodes each Unicode character in one or more octets, using basically one octet in ASCII encoding for the most common Latin characters and so saving space or width.

Hello all,
	I need some advice on converting Unicode character references. 
Currently, am encoding character references in what I believe is UCS-4 
format (Universal Character Set). This means they look like this in my 
source files:

&#x1090;

I want to import xhtml documents into Open Office, which seems to need 
UTF-8 encoding (I don't know what UTF stands for). Does anybody know of 
a filter that might do the conversions for me? Or have advice on using 
open office (Windows version) with UCS-4 encoding?


Can't you just copy and paste your documents from
Mozilla/Firefox/whatever into OOo? I know, this looks too simple to be
true ... but I just tried[1] and it works!

Ciao

[1] Picked up an xhtml file, inserted random decimal entities, loaded it
in Epiphany (based on Mozilla's engine), copied text and pasted it into
a unicode text editor: I ended up with unicode characters.
