Demonstrating Unicode Plane 1 (Supplementary) Characters Encoded in UTF-8

The table on this page is identical to the table on Unicode Plane 1 Characters Encoded as Numeric Character References (NCR). except this table uses UTF-8 encoding for the plane 1 characters, and the other uses NCRs (Numeric Character References of the form &#dddd; (decimal) or &#xhhhh; (hexadecimal)).

The NCR page also has a discussion of how to set up browsers to view these characters and which browsers work. If you find browsers or configurations that work let me know. Note that as of version 6, IE does not support Supplementary characters encoded in UTF-8. Netscape and Opera do support them. Also Ximian Desktop 2 (XD2) displays this page correctly.
