Internet Archaeology has increasingly had to deal with personal names and
place-names which include characters not found in the HTML encoding.
Could anyone tell me whether there is any progress on the generation of
an extended character set and what we should be doing in the meanwhile to
include such characters in our web pages? If the entire paper was in a
foreign language we could ask users to switch to a different encoding system
but for odd words? Bitmaps would look very odd so transliteration into
the ISO-8859 character set seems the only solution, unless anyone has any
bright ideas?
