I'm not sure whether I understand. You like it? Or you
don't like it?

What is so bad about relying on browser fall backs?

Currently, I use a simple text editor (it's actually bloc-notes)
to create my HTML files.

Can I still use this if I go for UTF8 or UTF16? And will the
Japanese characters be distinguishable in the source file?

How and where do I specify UTF8 or UTF16?
