HTML character set conventions

When you include the HTML <META> tag in your CSP file, you will need to specify the character set. UTF-8 (UCS Transformation Format) is the recommended standard character set if it is available for your target client browser. For more information, consult the Release Notes or the vendor for your target client browser.

The following is a typical <META> tag surrounded by <HTML> tags:

<HTML>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</HTML>

Note: If UTF-8 is supported by your target client browser, it is important to consistently use the UTF-8 character set as it functions properly on UNIX-style operating systems and does not have the same problems associated with other character sets.
