Did you set a <meta.... tag with a different charset? Did you set a <meta... tag ? If not some browsers set a charset by default which is mostly wrong Wink

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1251">

If it works with it the answer is yes!

i.e.
Code:

<html><head><title>my Title for this page</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1251">
</head>
<body>
...
</body></html>


Does the browser show the pages correcly with the meta set charset?
