Hi Alan,
To clear confusion, the symbols used in the <hiraganaSym> tags are
actual fonts of the UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com) 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!
Angela
