How To Configure Your Browser For Unicode
Contents
When you use a Browser to send something to a server, presumably all Browsers in the Western world use "Western something" as the default encoding. To take advantage of Unicode and enable others to see any APL code you might embed in your posting, you must configure your Browser correctly, otherwise it won't work.
For how to configure e-mail clients and news reader see ConfiguringMailAndNewsReaders.
To enforce your Browser to display a particular site or a particular part of a site in a particular font, see ConfigureYourBrowserForAPL
For a general article about Unicode and encoding see UnicodeForAplers.
