UTF-8 encoding is supposed to enable display of fonts used for ancient Greek, such as at WWW.perseus.tufts.edu. It displays beautifully on the iPOD Touch using Safari. On the Android some diacritics show up as box characters. Some apps can be forced to display correctly by selecting fonts from the app. So, I don't know if such a thing is possible with browsers or not. Its just annoying to fall just this short of gaming full unicode comploance

Android does not have the glyphs in the fonts that come with the OS to correctly display Ancient Greek. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3167#c3

Thanks. I kind of figured as much, but this just begs the question: Why don't they include the glyphs? Judging from the comments in the link you provided, there is more than enough demand and good reason for including complete fonts. Come on! There's no point in being UTF-8 compliant if you're just going to give us ASCII range code pages. At least let us change the fonts used in our browsers (in fact, many applications do just that).
