PHP Tutorial => Output

Example

If your application transmits text to other systems, they will also need to be informed of the character encoding. In PHP, you can use the default_charset option in php.ini, or manually issue the Content-Type MIME header yourself. This is the preferred method when targeting modern browsers.
```
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
```
If you are unable to set the response headers, then you can also set the encoding in an HTML document with HTML metadata.
- HTML5
```
<meta charset="utf-8">
```
- Older versions of HTML
```
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
```
