You can read HTTP headers with http://web-sniffer.net/ or with lynx -head -dump http://www.example.com/ Read http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset who to define the encoding (charset) in your server. And look at http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/meta-http-equiv.1 http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/meta-http-equiv.2 to learn why <meta http-equiv> is just a fake.
