Hello,
There is a requirement by the customer In order to display latin characters correctly in the UI, we need to add charset information in httpd.conf file.
We have added the AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 in httpd.conf.
Even after adding the above charset in httpd.conf the changes was not reflecting.
And there was a reply by the customer that
Even after adding those lines to httpd.conf file, I am not getting characters (like ö, ä, ü) properly sent to my application.
This works perfectly fine in my local system where I am not using apache web server. But fails when I deploy the same code to QA, where the Apache webserver is used.
Kindly help me in this case |

| Umlauts like ä ö ü and other funny characters like ß are displayed correct with UTF-8 if the documents are safe in UTF-8. If not you may try ISO-8859-1 as default character set. |

Check the encoding the browser selects when browsing.
If it is already UTF-8, check if all the scripts and documents containing international characters are converted to UTF-8 w/o BOM.
If it's not, check html metatags (if it is actually HTML) and Content-Type header in the server's response. Wrong encoding may be forced i.e. by "default_charset" option in php.ini file.

I think there's no good reason NOT to use Unicode. |

Sure! That I why I own this shirt http://www.amazon.de/getDigital-Schei-Encoding/dp/B001M9FAM6 , but sometimes also I have to live with crappy code and or enconding from customers from germany
I think checking the HTML code is a good idea.  |
