 You can look at the alive multibyte HTMLs. :-)

 First two symbols - word 'character' on Japanese. Then word 'character'
on English, and then word 'character' ('si:mvol', symbol) on Russian.
(In the JIS X 0208 character set the Russian and Greek letters
are also defined.)

Shift-JIS (CP-932) :

JIS (ISO-2022-JP) :
http://www.sensi.org/~alec/lang/japan/code/ch-jis.html
EUC-JP :
http://www.sensi.org/~alec/lang/japan/code/ch-euc.html
UTF-8 :
http://www.sensi.org/~alec/lang/japan/code/ch-utf8.html
NCR:

 The NCR (Numeric Character Reference -- decimal representation
of UNICODE codepoints) is too kind of the multibyte encoding for
HTML 4.0  :-) .
