I'm not sure to fully understand your problem, but I guess it relates to displaying special characters in web pages. So here goes. 1) Always specify encodings in the web pages themselves. Here's a header section of a webpage of my site, to give you an idea : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fr" lang="fr"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Microlinux - Solutions Linux et logiciels libres</title> 2) Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and try this option : AddDefaultCharset Off Hope that helps.
