How to handle special characters?

[Linus]

Hi

when linking in a HTML page that contains 3 special Swedish characters å,ä,
and ö. These characters will not show correctly in the Digital Dashboard.
Anyone knows why this happens and if there is anything I can do to fix it?

All help appreciated.

Linus,
These characters display OK for us. What browser are you using, what
character coding is your browser using, and what problems do you see?

It seems like you are on to something here. I think the default settings for
IE is Western Europe, but running the Dashboard changes it to UTF-8. If I
add this meta tag it works with UTF-8.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

I'm still a bit puzzled about this, explanations?

Are you asking me? :)

I really don't know. This isn't my field of expertise...

Lycka till i alla fall!
