gos1 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 it is because of the character encoding you used. I think if you change the character encoding of the page to UTF-8 the problem is going to be solved...

alpine Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The browser follows the webpage charset unless the user overrides it.Ok, this is off php but one more.You have set content as xhtml/xml, i dont know if it really makes a difference changing it to text/html:<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15" />http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30468-language-charecters/#findComment-140539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
