Azure Static Websites encoding apostrophes and other characters in a weird way

Here's what this text looks like when I load the HTML locally in Chrome:

On the contrary, here's what it looks like rendered after I publish to Azure Static Websites:

Apostrophes, quotations, and other characters are being rendered as some weird text.

What's the cause of this? Why does it happen only when published? Seems like an Azure bug to me.

Solution

  • check if you have this line in the head section

    <head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
