utf8 vs iso-8859-1

Hello,

the w3c web server text pages come with a http header

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

and some have

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">


As far as I understand, the http header has precedence. On most pages there
is an iso-8859 encoded copyright symbol, which does not get displayed correctly
in firefox.


best regards
Peter Sylvester
