You should be able to create a UTF-8 reminder file and have it come through
correctly, but you need to indicate that the HTML character encoding is
UTF-8 by putting something like this near the top:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

If you really want to pass HTML entities, use the SPECIAL HTML like this:


    REM ... whatever ... SPECIAL HTML Look here: &#x21B3;
