[This text] uses UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding, including some less common fractions:
⅓ ⅔ (thirds)

There are also halves and quarters:
½ ¼ ¾
If any of these characters do not display properly, or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font.
Typographical errors are marked with mouse-hover popups. Most errors and inconsistencies were left unchanged; details are given at the [end of the e-text].
Except for the title-page quotation, the word “art” (“Italian art”, “Vienna art”) appears to be the German Art (way, manner, style). Caution: Do not attempt to convert modern salted butter into unsalted butter by washing it. It will not work.
