Have you tried changing from UTF-8 to ISO ;)



<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-2022-JP">


.or


<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">


See if it helps ;)

You can see working demo page source on the link (http://www.ray.lv/scripts/rss/demo.htm), charset is set yo utf-8:<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Yup, I know it is UTF-8 as stated in post#1, but have you tried playing with the other content-type language, other than utf-8 ;)

[raimonds]

Yes, I changed to windows-1257, now characters has changed to anothers, but still not readable. I using Mod for phpbb3 from this author, and this working perfect. Here is a link to this page: http://forum.ray.lv/ Thaks.

having the same problem. tried proposed solutions, to no avail. is the solution available? Have seen the phpbb mod solution, but a swap is not enough and I am not using it in phpbb, which is how they get around the UTF-8 conversion. Is there no solution to this? this is what happens:
