The browser can normaly recognise the encoding of a HTML or XML file and display it correctly. The robots.txt file you mentioned in your first posting doesn't provide a mechanism for telling its encoding so the browser has to guess or take the defaul settings. Try opening the robots.txt in your browser and change the encoding to UTF-8. You could also try downloading the file (right click, "Save target as...") and opening it with a Unicode capable text editior, e.g. Windows own Notepad. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding for further information. hth Frank _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
