I have an idea. Maybe it is a mess, but I use it in spanish to represent
non-ASCII characters in webpages.
I use the proper HTML character entities. All of them start with & and
end with ; and I use some of them like
aacute for small a with acute over it
eacute for small e with acute over it
Aacute for capital a with acute over it
Eacute for capital e with acute over it
ntilde for small n with tilde (something like ALT+126) over it
Ntilde for capital n with tilde over it
iquest for inverted question mark
There are such entities for all characters, since they can be used by
name or by number. So really there is no need for multicharacter
encoding if we use HTML way to represent those characters.
Please look at the view and the code of
