i figure i need to set .htaccess? i'm on apache/php/mysql.

Answer 1

Replace AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 with AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 in the Apache.conf file.

If using .htaccess for configuration use something similar to:

<Files unicode-example-intro.html>
AddType "text/html; charset=UTF-8" html
</Files>
