UTF-8, a flavour of unicode, is an universal character set. You don't define any codepage/language for it. You just simply use whatever characters you like.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
This creates "Content-Type" header being "http equivalent". Content is
text/html with charset UTF-8.
It would be even better to send real http header with charset. In PHP it's:
<?php header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"); ?>Note: Don't use Notepad or other Microsoft tools for UTF-8, because they tend to add unvisible "BOM marker" character at the beginning of every file. This helps them recognize UTF-8 from other files, but confuses many browsers.
I use freeware "Notepad2" for UTF-8.
