Title: Brosers not displaying correct characters
Post by: Dolphus on October 02, 2016, 09:17:56 PM

All of a sudden my webpage has started to show the small black diamond with question mark inside (,in place of fractions) I have changed nothing, I have done a lot of research today, and it seems like it stems from the charset, the browser is set to unicde (UTF-8) when I change it to western (windows-1252) it corrects the problem but on reload converts back to UTF-8 and issue remains, my website was written many years ago (not by me), so any help or advise would be fantastic

Others have had this kind of problem.
Is would appear that after you visit the page it reverts to a former state,

The answer is rather hard to follow. The post seems to say "... make sure all pages in the  set use the same encoding..." or  something like that.
