I have some special characters here:
http://209.141.56.244/test/char.php
but when I grab this file via ajax here, they show up as back ? marks:
http://209.141.56.244/test/char.html
These characters should be "ISO-8859-1 Western" but switching my browser encoding to any of the options don't help.
Why is this and how can I fix it?
分享 Your server sends the Ajax response as text/html, this makes the browser assume UTF-8 (which is the default), but your data itself is not UTF-8.
Send the Ajax response as text/html; Charset=Windows-1252 (you're not really using ISO-8859-1) and it should work.
header('Content-Type: text/html; Charset=Windows-1252');
PS: Switching the browser to another charset does not help because this affects the page itself only. Subsequent Ajax responses are still decoded according to their respective headers.
