So I have some information I’ll be pasting into a web page that includes text in Cyrillic Macedonian. Using the standard character set (&#xxxx;) I’ve managed to code all of the letters except one – the letter Nje, which resembles a Roman capital H and lowercase b smashed together. This letter does not appear on the coding list I downloaded from Og-knows where. My Windows character map shows it Unicode as “U+040A” for the capital letter and “U+045A” for the lowercase. But I don’t know how to use Unicode in a web page.

Any hints?

Never mind. I seem to have found a solution.
