I've been trying to embed some hebrew characters in Thom Sander's free html5 template (download link).
For example, I've tried to change a left-side menu item text to Hebrew, i.e.,
Home Page => עמוד הבית
For some reason the hebrew characters are not shown at all.
When I add hebrew in other places in the document, it is shown correctly. At first I thought this may be an encoding issue but the head encoding seems to be valid: UTF-8. I think there might be some JS code ignoring the Hebrew text, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas?
