How can you determine the character set used by a webpage you built?

But how do you know? Can anyone provide me with pointers as to how I
might determine this on a given machine?

What do you mean by "given machine"? Each and every computer on earth?
Or do you want to know for your own "Windows NT 5.0"?

Your editor should tell you. On MS Windows, you can generally use
UTF-8, UTF-16, or the Microsoft-specific code pages from
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPIN...ICSFT/WINDOWS/
In Mozilla Composer, for example, you can choose
File > Save and Change Character Encoding
and save your document in MacBelgian if you like.
