title: Will iso-8859-1 display german umlauts ok or do I need to use utf-8?
body: <p>I have a multi language website that is hosted on a server that appears to have character encoding set to default to iso-8859-1. </p>
  
  <p>I thought I would be best having the pages utf-8 and included a meta tag to declare this. Unfortunately this meta tag seems to get overridden and the page defaults to iso-8859. </p>
  
  <p>Many special characters in the German and Dutch pages are not showing correctly.</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to try and change the server default to utf-8 or something? Maybe I could remove the server default completly? Hmm... really not sure what's best to do here.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice would be great! </p>
