Axiomatic of planetary endeavors, you can write content in any language and correctly display the text in any alphabet. There is a simple requirement. Write the content in a text editor such as Notepad++. In the Encoding menu, select the UTF-8 option. The header of the Web page must be:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
The charset=utf-8 attribute of the meta tag is of the essence.
Just copy and paste special characters from specialized resources on the Internet. I list on this page just a few characters, so that you don't need to insert character codes (e.g. "& #9733;") on your pages.

Axiomatic of healthy endeavors, I am a strong proponent of the dark theme. It is so much easier (i.e. healthier) on the eyes. Many people choose to use dark mode settings in the evening time. Looking at a screen with a dark background may feel more comfortable because you'll see less glare in dark mode. The night-friendly setting reduces the overall brightness output from the screen, creating less of a contrast with the world around you. Dark mode makes it easier for your eyes to adjust between dimly lit surroundings and your device screen (computer, tablet, phone). This can reduce eye strain and minimize eye fatigue.
The dark modes/themes started with the Windows operating system. It was then extended to browsers and many websites. I implemented the dark mode on my entire site in the year of grace 2025. It was so easy… why didn’t I do it years earlier?! I have a huge website, but a global search-and-replace accomplished the task rather quickly. Simply put it, the body tag of every page was changed to:
<body style="background-color:#000000;" text="#e5e5e5" link="#00ffff" alink="#ff0000" vlink="#c0c0c0">
The background color was set to black (100%). The font (text) color was changed to a silver tone to go even easier on the eyes. I recommend every Web designer follow the same practice. There are still many pages on the Internet that keep hurting viewers' eyes unnecessarily!
Unfortunately, many websites will remain in the hurtful black-on-white format. There is good news. We can instruct the browsers to render every webpage in the dark theme. The following tactic seems to have worked correctly.
In a browser's address box (the url line), type:
Chrome://flags
In Search flags, type dark. In the Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents section:
Choose Dark (instead of Default).
In Mozilla Firefox, choose Settings, then on the General page scroll down to Language & Appearance. Choose the Dark option, then restart the browser.
or
Edge://flags
Voilà!
