Unicode conversion

Notes and references

• This requires Javascript to work, because Unicode is Javascript's native character set, which makes the conversions trivial. This HTML document is (notionally) encoded in UTF-8, though in principle the encoding shouldn't matter.
• Excellent reference: UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux by Markus Kuhn
• Some ad hoc notes on FORM submission and i18n by A J Flavell. For historians and masochists, the bit about Netscape 4 (the "unfinished browser") is interesting: this form seems to "work" with NN4; that is, paste in Japanese, and Javascript produces the right escape sequences, but the form input display is garble.
