View-Encoding and charset on web page

[aa]

even if I place in the header of an HTML page
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">, IE6
still shows gobbledegook unless I tweek View-Encoding (the page is in
Cyrillics, created in Notepad and saved as Unicode). Obviously one cannot
force other visitors play with encoding setting. Is there a reliable way to
secure that a page encoding is displayed correctly on

Hi,

Loose Notepad. Modern html editors have MS intellisense. You are bound to
make more mistakes using notepad.

Look at which font families you are using.

If we dive into discussing modern html editors, we will never come back to
the original question. So many of them and to clean the question off their
countless intellisense, I used the basic one with no intellisense, just with
the ability to save textfile in ANSI or Uniode format. Are u saying Notepad
does not save correctly text files?
