Frequently Asked Questions

An incorrect or missing charset declaration can cause special characters, accented letters, or non-Latin text to render as garbled symbols (often called "mojibake") in visitors' browsers.

UTF-8 is the modern web standard and supports virtually every language and symbol - it should be declared in both your HTTP Content-Type header and your HTML <meta charset> tag.

Browsers generally prioritize the HTTP header over the meta tag, but a mismatch is still a sign of a configuration issue worth fixing for consistency.
