http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#spec-char-encoding Says: ===== For example, to specify that the character encoding of the current document is "EUC-JP", a document should include the following META declaration:
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=EUC-JP"> The META declaration must only be used when the character encoding is organized such that ASCII-valued bytes stand for ASCII characters (at least until the META element is parsed). META declarations should appear as early as possible in the HEAD element. ===== Roozbeh Pournader wrote: > > On Mon, 2003-02-17 at 14:27, Tex Texin wrote: > > > AFAICR, there is supposed to be no single non-ASCII character before that > > > <meta> tag. > > > > I don't believe the standard says that.
