Right now, I use Unicode or charset=UTF-8, then I convert all the languages to character entities and then copy and paste them into my html code. This is very time consuming... are there better ways to convert languages? I know you can use other charset like big-5 for chinese language and such. But does it work well? Any input will be appreciated.

Hello,

UTF-8 is the best choice for multilingual website.

I use windows notepad to make web pages. When saving a file, notepad asks me which encoding I want to use. Select UTF-8 and save. That's it.
