I’v deployed a work on one of my clients – a french one – server and even using charset=”UTF-8″ meta in HTML, some characters were displayed different from what they should.
cópia was showed coÌpia
I had to add the following line to .htaccess – forcing the Charset to be UTF-8
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
or
AddDefaultCharset Off
disabling Default Charset! 🙂
