can you let us know which editor you are using ? do you mean by html editor /html is not supporting utf-8?

I think such editor is just impossible :-)
Please see my answer and the comment below.

Can you explain how it's possible to have the Web application based editor NOT supporting Unicode? Or your tag "ASP.NET" and "C#" are both added by mistake? :-)

It looks like you are missing something. All modern Web browser support Unicode, so the editor you need could be just the <textarea> element. Moreover, as it supports Unicode, it also supports all other UTFs. For example, if you have some application supporting just UTF-32 (imagine such thing for a minute), and some arbitrary Unicode text on the Web page shown by the a Web browser, which can be some text in control or anywhere else, you can copy this text from the browser to a clipboard and later past in that application — UTF-8 to UTF-32 "conversion" is done! This is just a usual property of the clipboard. The same happens in nearly all modern systems.

[EDIT]

And of course .NET supports the Unicode and all major UTFs.

[END EDIT]

Maybe you just need to learn how Unicode works. Please see, to start with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode[^],
http://unicode.org/[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOM[^],

Solution 2

Hi,

If you are creating HTML file from your editor and you are asking how to create that HTML file UTF-8 compatible then you can do it like specify it in meta tag.

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

And If you have question like your editor is not supporting the UTF-8 then see the solution1 by SA. it's not possible because all browsers support it.

Thanks.

Right, good point. My 5.

I would also mention that this http-equiv is important to have even if the HTTP browser supports default charset set to the same value ("UTF-8" or whatever is required). This way, the content type you mentioned will be prescribed in the HTTP headers, not in HTML. The page will be rendered in browsers correctly, but is is good? What should do the people who copied some page to the local file? The charset information will be lost! That's why I thing the http-equiv you've shown is the must.
