Solution to garbled HTML file

Question:Why does my HTML file become garbled? Garbled characters appear?

Answer: The reason why the HTML file is garbled may be due to inconsistent encoding. The encoding of the HTML document should be consistent with the character set used in the web page. Common encodings include UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, and GB2312.

Expand answer:

Determine the correct encoding

For every HTML document, the correct encoding should be specified. You can determine the correct encoding by:

• Look at the HTTP header of the HTML document and look for the "charset=" attribute in the "Content-Type" header.
• Check the beginning of the HTML document for the <meta> tag, looking for the "charset=" attribute.
• Guess the language of the document and then use the corresponding encoding.

Set the correct encoding

Once you have determined the correct encoding, you can set the encoding for your HTML document by:

• Add the <meta> tag at the beginning of the HTML document, for example <meta charset="UTF-8">.
• Set the "Content-Type" header in the HTTP header, for example "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8".
• Use the default encoding specified in the server configuration.

Other causes and solutions

• Browser compatibility: Make sure that the browser you are using supports the encoding of the document.
• Text Editor Settings: Text editors sometimes automatically save files in the wrong encoding. Check your text editor's encoding settings.
• Special characters: Ensure that the special characters used in the HTML document are compatible with the encoding. For example, in ISO-8859-1 encoding, certain characters (such as the euro symbol) require the use of HTML entities (such as "€").
