Hi all,
If HTML templates for an international site has to cope with a large number
of languages, including non-Western ones, what character encoding should I
use? Languages may include Chinese, Japanese and Russian.
Currently, I have
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
Is that adequate? Should I use UTF-8? Or another?
I assume, also, that the server will have to be set up to serve pages in the
same character encoding.
