The Web pages that display correctly even if you do not set the encoding
have a charset label either in a META tag or in the HTTP Content-Type
header. It would be nice if all Web pages had such a label.
Examples:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=gb2312">
Content-Type: text/html; charset=big5
(The 2nd one is the HTTP header.)
