Apache set character encoding
Character encodings tell the browser how to display a document. Usually these are set through our headers instruction set and can be done in the header tag of our HTML 5 documents.
A great backup to this system is to use a default encoding in our htaccess file. This ensures that if the character encodings were not set correctly in our documents, our files will still display correctly:
### default char ###
DefaultType text/html
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
Add the above to your htaccess file to give your HTML 5 a default character encoding of utf-8.
