I'm glad you have mentioned this because it might well be a better
question than my own :)

I'm returning to doing some html after a significant of not doing any
at all. When I was writing HTML before I used entities for "smart
quotes" and "stupid quotes" and all that kind of thing.

Maybe there is no need to use them these days at all...

So, if I don't use entities I'm wondering if the characters will
display fine in the various common browsers these days?
