  HTML - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The HTML 3.0 standard was proposed by the newly formed W3C in March 1995, and provided many new capabilities such as support for tables, text flow around figures, and the display of complex math elements.
HTML 3.1 was never officially proposed, and the next standard proposal was HTML 3.2 (code-named "Wilbur"), which dropped the majority of the new features in HTML 3.0 and instead adopted many browser-specific element types and attributes which had been created for the Netscape and Mosaic web browsers.
HTML 4.0 likewise adopted many browser-specific element types and attributes, but at the same time began to try to "clean up" the standard by marking some of them as deprecated, and suggesting they not be used.

 Creating Multilingual Web Pages: Unicode Support in HTML, HTML Editors and Web Browsers
The character encoding of an HTML document specifies the technical details of how the characters in the document character set should be represented as bits when stored in a computer file or transmitted over the Internet.
However, characters that are not allowed for in a character encoding can still be included in an HTML document by using character references.
Character encoding is also referred to by other names, including character encoding scheme, character coding, charset, coded character set, encoding and transmission character set.

 HTML Validation: Using Character Encodings
To validate or display an HTML document, a program must choose a character encoding.
Versions of HTML prior to HTML 4.0 supported a limited character set, only allowing those characters that could be encoded using ISO-8859-1.
The preferred method of indicating the encoding is by using the charset parameter of the Content-Type HTTP header.

 XML and HTML Character Encodings and Languages
If no encoding is specified, either in the document, or through external means, the default for XML is UTF-8, of which ASCII is a subset, or UTF-16 when a Byte Order Mark is detected.
Those characters would be outside of the primary code plane of Unicode, known as the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP).
The effect of space characters is dependent on the implementation.

 Character encodings in HTML : HTML character entity reference
HTML has been in use since 1991, but the first standardized version with a reasonably complete treatment of international characters was version 4.0, not published until 1997.
Considerable care must be exercised when creating HTML pages with special characters outside the range of normal ASCII to ensure two goals: the integrity of the information stored in the HTML document, and proper display of the document by the largest possible variety of browsers.
In addition to native character encodings, characters can also be encoded as HTML entities, using the encoding format derived from the use of character entities in SGML.

 W3C I18N Tutorial: Character sets & encodings in XHTML, HTML and CSS
A character set or repertoire comprises the set of characters one might use for a particular purpose – be it those required to support Western European languages in computers, or those a Chinese child will learn at school in the third grade (nothing to do with computers).
Many character encoding standards, such as ISO 8859 series, use a single byte for a given character and the encoding is straightforwardly related to the scalar position of the characters in the coded character set.
Similarly, if the character encoding is only declared in the HTTP header, this information may become separated from files that are processed by such things as XSLT or scripts, or from files that are sent for translation.

 A tutorial on character code issues
A character encoding could, in principle, be viewed purely as a method of mapping a sequence of integers to a sequence of octets.
All the character codes discussed above are "8-bit codes", eight bits are sufficient for presenting the code numbers and in practice the encoding (at least the normal encoding) is the obvious (trivial) one where each code position (thereby, each character) is presented as one octet (byte).
Most ASCII characters are presented as such, each as one octet, but for obvious reasons some octet values must be reserved for use as "escape" octets, specifying the octet together with a certain number of subsequent octets forms a multi-octet encoded presentation of one character.

The "cs" stands for character set and is provided for applications that need a lower case first letter but want to use mixed case thereafter that cannot contain any special characters, such as underbar ("_") and dash ("-").
If the character set is not from an ISO standard, but is registered with ISO (IPSJ/ITSCJ is the current ISO Registration Authority), the ISO Registry number is specified as ISOnnn followed by letters suggestive of the name or standards number of the code set.
When a national or international standard is revised, the year of revision is added to the cs alias of the new character set entry in the IANA Registry in order to distinguish the revised character set from the original character set.

Browser support was originally better for utf-8 than it was for iso-8859-15, and I think it's fair to say that there is no point in using iso-8859-15 for encoding HTML documents, although it has found fairly wide user acceptance, in the European area, for use in Usenet (8-bit plain text) postings.

The characters that were later added outside the 16-bit BMP are mostly for specialist applications such as historic scripts and scientific notation.
