Shaver reference test

Eventually, to improve Philips brand recognition in the USA, Philips began branding their shavers "Philips Norelco" in 2005. The Philips Norelco co-branding will allow for an eventual phase out of the Norelco name in favour of the Philips name.

HTML encodings

Micro in HTML: 'µ'

Micro in UTF-8: 'μ'

(The latter is preferred ever since English Wikipedia was put into UTF-8 format. When editing an article, it's created by selecting "Greek" in the character box below the edit window, and clicking on the µ symbol.)

As of 2009-03-11, WikiMobile 1.11 by Bonfire Media on my LG VX8300 doesn't display the UTF-8 characters at all. So, µg in UTF-8 displays as g.
