I have a .html file created be FrontPage. The encoding was automatically set to Windows1252 (I did not pay attention). I did not change it. I can manually edit it to include Chinese characters, without problem. But the Chinese characters in the files are special code, something like: 

 有三个%096;分

There is not problem to edit them or showing them using FrontPage, or FireFox. But， now, I want to convert them from simplified Chinese characters to traditional ones. There are many tools to convert Chinese chars, but they do not convert &#26377 in html files.

Where can I find the mapping table for these kind of coding?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You will probably need to do a replace for those entities in a text editor or display the text in a browser window and copy it to the clipboard. Then you have the characters in UTF-8 or UTF-16(?) code and you can paste them directly in that document.
