This is purely an HTML/web-design question, and has nothing really to
do with FreeBSD even if your webserver is a FreeBSD system. You
should look at the LANG and DIR attributes. Also, you should set up
your pages do use UTF-8 as a character set. To instruct your server
to declare that documents are UTF-8 by default, you can set
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
in your Apache configuration.
AddDefaultCharset is document at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset
If you don't have access to the Apache configuration, you can declare
the charset to use within each document in the HTML, with something like
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
within the HEAD portion of the document.
The LANG and DIR attributes are documented at
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/attrs.html#lang
though that is more of a reference document than a "how to".
