phphtmlutf-8character-encoding

How can I force UTF-8 encoding in the browser?

I have a page whose encoding is declared with

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

But when I enter the page, another encoding (ISO) is chosen in the browser. I have tried to set the encoding by a PHP method

header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

But it also didn't help. All source files are encoded in UTF-8 without a BOM. The only solution, which I tried, and it had worked, was setting the encoding in the .htaccess file by adding the AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 line, but then other pages on the server were not displayed correctly. How can I solve this problem?

Solution

  • Disable the default charset:

    AddDefaultCharset Off
