I'm inputting just a straightforward text block in Russian (using cut and paste). The Russian text looks ok in the browser; however, when you look at the source (in the HTML editor for example), it has all been converted out of cyrillic into HTML character codes.

As far as I can see this has two disadvantages: firstly you can't edit it because it's impossible to understand what the actual text is, and secondly I very much doubt whether Russian search engines will cope with this.

Is there some setting to input so that the text is in UTF-8 for example?

Thanx, Joel
