Some HTML files might display incomprehensible characters. This problem is typically due to the following reasons:
The charset encoding tag is incorrect.
The charset encoding tag is missing.
To find the charset encoding tag in the HTML file, perform the following steps:
Open the file in Mozilla
.
Choose View -> Page Info.
The charset information is at the bottom of the General tab, for example: Content-Type text/html; charset=us-ascii
If the string charset=us-ascii does not match the actual encoding of the file, the file might appear as broken. To edit the encoding of the HTML file, perform the following steps:
Open the file in Mozilla Composer
.
Choose File -> Save as Charset.
Choose the correct encoding. Mozilla Compose
automatically converts the encoding and the charset tag as appropriate.
