SatyamThe problem usually is that many of the 'things' surrounding the main window of the browser do not understand HTML and its special characters. The favorites or history lists are often one of them. Most have solved the rendering of the <title> but not all. If your target is mainly Windows clients, the best option is using iso-8859-1 as the character set and use the native windows trademark symbol. In that way, your browser main window will understand it as per the character encoding, and windows itself will also understand it for the rest of the controls where the internal windows character set is used.I personally think this is the WORST possible advice to give... YMMV
