I looked for a solution to this but could not find an answer anywhere. I have a Quesion2Answer website in cyrilic that displays the characters correctly in the browser, however, when i check the html source file, it looks like the text inside the question and the answer are displayed as &# numbers.



wrong character encoding



The charachters on row 15 are not correctly displayed. As a result, when i try to edit a question/answer on my android phone, the question or the answer is delivered with the encoding and it is not possible for the website users to edit their question/answer. (it still works on a computer but you can see that the characters are displayed wrong in the source file).



Please use this question on my website as a reference.



I tried to change the encoding via HtAccess:



AddDefaultCharset 
UTF-8 DefaultLanguage bg-BG


However, this did not work. I am curious as to how to fix this problem. Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome.

  • The html is coming from the database, so I think the issue may be there.
