Hi Allen,
You can tell the browser what encoding to use for an HTML document. The first
way is to use HTTP Response headers by providing the right Content-Type header
example:
Content-Typetext/html; charset=UTF-8
The second way is to include it in the HTML document itself as a meta tag
<html lang="en" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>Accomodation</title>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
</head>
You should be doing the above anyway as it does not rely on any browser
defaults and UTF-8 is the way forward as it does not limit the character set.
Regards
David

Subject: [htmltmpl] Help! Chinese character displaying problem
usingHTML::TEMPLATE
Hi all,
My cgi script using Html::Template having some error display Chinese
Character.
I have set character set to gb2312, and the encoding character set was
set to gb2312 too.
But in that case, the "你好" wasn't displayed as expected.
However, I found that if I change the encoding character set of my
browser to utf8, it displays perfectly.
Why ?
Most browsers in China were set to gb2312 encoding, I don't want users to
manually change their
default setting to view my page.
What can I do?
Thanks!!
cgi code:
##################################################
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI qw(:standard);
use HTML::Template;
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'title.tpl.php');
my $title = '你好';
$template->param('title' => $title);
print header(-charset=>"gb2312");
print $template->output;
template code:
##################################################
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<title><TMPL_VAR NAME=title></title>
</head>
<body>
<TMPL_VAR NAME=title>
<br>
Hello!
<br>
Hard code你好
</BODY>
</HTML>
