There is a setting you can change on the server if you want to change the default encoding for that server. If you want to change the character set or encoding on a specific page, you use meta tags in the head. Do a Google search for specifying content-type using meta tags.

A few ways to do this:1. If you are using PHP:

<?php header('Content-encoding: ######'); ?>

2. If you are using XHTML/XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="######" ?>

3. Otherwise, just:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=######" />
