Chinese Text Not Displaying Properly On Web Page

I am adding some Chinese text to a primarily English web page and am having trouble getting the characters to display properly. I've got the encoding set to UTF-8 in the meta conte

Solution 1:

just because the meta tag says that the encoding is UTF8, doesn't mean that the content (file) itself is in UTF8. I mean, if you have a file index.html, the file itself should be encoded as utf8.

To change the encoding of a file in lunix, you can use this command

iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 ./index.html > ./newIndex.html

but i guess that you are working with windows... and the only way i know change the encoding in windows is the Notepad++

Hope this helps
