Thanks Pat, Yong Peng,
Pat's unicode test succeeded receiving on my end. Let me try cutting
and pasting some unicode in my notes (which were originally cut and
paste from worldtipitaka.org )
My notes are in an html file, in a table with 2 columns side by side. I
cut and paste the left column, which is all english. Then I cut and
paste the right column, which is in pali. the 3rd cut+paste is the
entire html table with both columns. Let's see how that turns out.

from M.22:
Sense desires, so he has said, bring little enjoyment and much
suffering and disappointment. The perils in them are greater.
1.
Sense desires are like bare bones, has the Blessed One said;
they are
2.
like a lump of flesh,
3.
like a torch of straw,
4.
like a pit of burning coals,
5.
like a dream,
6.
like borrowed goods,
7.
like a fruit-bearing tree,
8.
like a slaughter house,
9.
like a stake of swords,
10.
like a snake's head, are sense desires, has the Blessed One
said.(2. see details of those similes) <#n-2> They bring
little enjoyment, and much suffering and disappointment. The
perils in them are greater."
