Is this problem also related to the current situation that Mozilla reads =

in JavaScript sourece files as ASCII and does not care, for instance,=20
about UTF-8? Or is this an error of myself?

Background: I have a simple JavaScript file declaring a string=20
containing some UTF-8 characters, like "=E6=82=A8=E5=A5=BD". But when I t=
ry to display=20
this string (alert() or similiar) the two idiographs have been falling=20
to pieces and are displayed as four ASCII letters.
