Whoops, looks like I typoed this. I think the first character should be
&#xd55c; not %#xd5cc. (The little dealie in the upper right should point
to the right, not left :) But as I mentioned, someone who knows Korean
needs to check it :)

And I had meant for the new list to be an addition to the old one... the
version on your website is missing Thai and Traditional Chinese:

Thai - &#xe44;&#xe17;&#xe22;
Chinese (Traditional) - &#x4e2d;&#x6587;&#xff08;&#x7e41;&#x9ad4;&#xff09;

I guess besides the requirement for a Unicode-aware browser, there may
also be an issue with fonts... even if the browser knows that it should
be displaying Chinese (for example), it can't do it if the user doesn't
have a Chinese font installed. One way to look at it is that if the user
doesn't have a Chinese font installed, he's not gonna want to change his
language to Chinese anyways :) But on the other hand, it might be
confusing and to see solid rectangles in the language list.
