Welcome Simcha

Here is the newest member of the Rosi-Kessel family:

Her name is Simcha, or שמחה if your web browser supports unicode. Actually, that didn’t work at all. If anyone can give me a hand with how to do Hebrew unicode in HTML, I would appreciate it.

We think she is about 8-10 weeks old, and was found outside with a broken leg. She has a little purple cast with a heart on it while it heals.

Update: Thanks to my commenters, it’s fixed. Had to insert a utf-8 charset tag in the “content-type” header.

    The hebrew does (kind of) work if you set the browser character encoding to UTF-8. You should set the encoding of the page with a Content-Type meta tag.

    The ‘het’ (3rd letter) shows up as a box and two dashes. I would write simcha in hebrew like this: שמחה.

    Uh oh. Rachel and I allergic to cats. So much for me coming to visit you! You’ll have to come to Brooklyn instead now.

    I tend to try it out in OpenOffice and save it to html and then copy paste the hebrew to where I need it.

    this is what I get (unsure if it will work)

    שמחה
