Netscape switches "automatically" this way:
Insert a META tag (in the HTML head) which declares the correct MIME
parameters (or configure your http server)
In my homepage
http://www.hist.no/~herman/
it looks like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset="UTF-8">
<TITLE>Ranes, Herman</TITLE>
Actually, I do not use UTF-8 in my home page, but numerical character
references (NCRs).
But in this page:
http://www.hist.no/~herman/utf8.html
I use UTF-8 encoding.
