HTML - set web page encoding (e.g. UTF-8)
3 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to set encoding in HTML (e.g. UTF-8).
Quick solution (put it in the <head> element):
xxxxxxxxxx1
<meta charset="UTF-8">Warning:
In practice it is necessary to set encoding on the server side to avoid bugs.
We can achieve it in 2 ways:
- by saving
*.htmlfiles using proper encoding, e.g. UTF-8,- by adding specific header to the response, e.g.
Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8
In this example, we present a simple full page template with the most commonly used charset - UTF-8.
xxxxxxxxxx1

<html>3
<head>4
<meta charset="UTF-8">5
<title>Title</title>6
</head>7
<body>8
Page body here ...9
</body>10
</html>In this example, we present the second approach, which is usingcontent-type meta tag with charset set to utf-8.
