Dwojwierny is a Polish word for the concurrent existence of pagan and Christian beliefs, meaning "double faith".
oh, excellent -- thanks! that will delight some other people i know.
ah, unicode frustration. :/
you looked it up and thought it should be #0142, the unicode NCR,right? well, it is, but your HTML input uses UTF-8 encoding. trick that should work for you: force hexadecimal code parsing by hanging an 'x' between the ampersand and the number, like so: ł -- that should display as the barred l or whatever its unicode name is, ł.
*wanders off to see what the name is*. "LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH STROKE", how original. :) but the unicode standard pages are getting better and better.

Oooh, and even an explanation for this aggravating behaviour. Thank you much. YES! It works! *small victory dance*
Isn't that a terrific word for there to be? I am inutterably pleased with its existence in my universe. I find it especially so because it's a language that has some claim on me anyway (I'm of the first generation of that bit of family that didn't get at least a little conversational Polish as a child -- I only got a word or two).

It does this with the page starting with a meta tag of , and the code itself is ł. Just fyi....
