[How To] Add UTF-8 language support in your scripts

If you are developing a language pack for one of your scripts that does not contain support for special characters and you need UTF-8 support in order for the characters to appear properly, you can add this to your .htaccess file:

Code:

---

AddDefaultCharset utf-8

---

Your special characters should appear as desired.

Available in Apache 2.0.33 and later

Thanks for the clarification. Do you know the solution for Apache 1.x?

This is still on my list to test, but haven't got there yet.

I think its either

AddCharset UTF-8 .html

or something like this:

HTML Code:

---

<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html|css|js)$">
ForceType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
</FilesMatch>

---
