As by the constitution of Usenet, shouting (writing all-uppercase) means
you are wrong _and_ you have lost your temper _and_ you are in a write-only
mode, i.e. immune to attempts to enlighten you. So this isn't for you but
to other readers of the alt.html group (and perhaps sci.lang.translation,
where the question did not belong).
You can write an HTML document in any language of the world, irrespectively
of your operating system, keyboard, etc. As the ultimate method, you can
write any character using character references, which need just a few
characters ("&", "#", digits "0" through "9", and ";", though basic Latin
letters "A" to "F" and "X" and/or their lowercase equivalents would make
things somewhat easier).
The _convenience_ of writing depends on many things, including the
authoring software. You can install and use a so-called Unicode editor,
such as e.g. SC UniPad or BabelPad, even on Windows 98. They let you write
even plain text in any language and in any script.
Followups trimmed.
