[users@httpd] Character Display problems: single quote and apostrophe become
question marks
Reply-To:
This happened after I upgraded to Apache 2.0 - currently version 2.0.51
running on Fedora (Centos 3.1) linux.
All pages are affected. Single quotes (') get turned into a funny
question mark. It's a black diamond with a question mark inside. For an
example, go to
http://mchdurham.org/friday_bulletin/Mainfridaybulletin.htm.
I've tried changing the content tag to various other charsets and
encodings. Nothing helps. This is a very strange problem. I thought for
sure I would find something inthe archives or via google. It's rather
hard to search for since I can't search for the funny question
character. I'm sure someone knows the answer....?
Thanks

no, it's the other way. the apache directive defaultcharset overrides the
meta information.

Sorry about the "Reply-To:" in there - subject went too long for my mailer.
Anyway, like I said, I tried many different charsets.
However! I did not check the default charset setting in the config. My understanding
was that it's overridden by the meta tag anyway. 90% of my pages are generated by an
editor that inserts the Content-Type tag with content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1".
Anyway, it was set to UTF-8. Which you somehow knew. See, I was confident someone
would know the answer.
Thank you!

You're serving that as UTF-8, whereas it is in fact iso-8859-1.
See the docs for AddCharset and AddDefaultCharset.
