All modern web applications should be using UTF-8 encoding. For developers with English keyboards (where all keys produce 7-bit ASCII), testing web forms with multibyte characters can be a pain. You can, of course, enter Unicode characters via obscure key combinations, but using this bookmarklet may be easier:

A few weeks ago I created a simple bookmarklet that loads del.icio.us’s PlayTagger script into the current page. This post covers how some problems with this script were worked through.

Whenever you’re on a page with an ISBN in the URL, like Amazon or some other bookish site, activate ACL to pop-up a search for that book within the Alachua County Library Catalog.
This was generated with the LibraryLookup Project’s Bookmarklet builder, which can build a similar bookmarklet for any library using one of 16 popular [...]
