The correct symbols are given by the latest versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE 6.0 shows all UTF-8 codes correct and MSIE 5.x most of them) and Netscape (version 7.0 works fine; you can't use version 4.7). UTF-8 is the only way to show on one and the same page the different alphabets necessary for the multilingual dictionary. However, until the new browser versions are more common, for the Cyrillic names character set Windows-1251 will be used, and for the Greek names the symbol font.
