This question is most likely answered many times before, but I have searched some hours now and I still don't understand one basic thing (most probably the utf8-charset itself...).
I have a html with german umlauts "ä" and "ö" (ä and ö):
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
hällö
</body>
</html>
which results into the output of "h�ll�".
When I leave out <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> the result becomes "hällö" in my browser (probably with some german charset settings??) - as it should be.
Why don't umlauts work like "normal" (ASCII) characters in utf8-charset and what can I do to make them so (beside of encoding, decoding and masking)?

If you specified "charset=utf-8", you have to upload/use a "File" that is encoded with UTF-8.
