>>Hi,
>>
>>I am looking at a page on the internet where much of the text is in Cyrillic. I go to the View Source and copy it. Then I open a blank HTML document, using Notepad, and paste the source. I save it, without any changes. Now I open my "copy" of this page (in IE 11) but all Cyrillic shows as question marks. I assume that the original Cyrillic page is using some JS or something to show the Cyrillic text correctly.

>>How could I make "my copy" of this page to show all the Cyrillic text correctly?

>>TIA

>>UPDATE. Instead of using the Source, I Saved the Page to my drive (using Save As), with a different name. And now I can open this HTML page and all Cyrillic shows correctly.

This was probably my mistake; I did save to ASCII and should have used Unicode. Thank you.
