Title: UTF-8 or what? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # UTF-8 or what? * [daveny87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daveny87/) * (@daveny87) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-or-what/) * Hi all! So, first of all, my blog site is: [http://www.freeweb.hu/daveny/](http://www.freeweb.hu/daveny/) And I’m using OrangeSky template, which works properly. My blog uses UTF-8 and every character works properly too. But after I installed francey.org’s Revolution# 09 template, my hungarian characters like ö,ü,ó,Å‘,ú,á,ű,í doesn’t appear. Sorry, they appear but wrongly. For example ö looks like this: #>@ or something like this. What can I do? I put this (@charset “utf-8”;) into my style.css, but id doesn’t work. (I just tried this, I have never developed PHP or CSS) So, what shall I do to make my francey.org’s Revolution #09 template works with hungarian characters?

Hol nem jelennek meg a magyar betűk? A blogszövegben vagy a menük táján? * [jinsan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jinsan/) * (@jinsan) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-or-what/#post-215628) * try this, but I offern no guarantee it will work, it should in theory: * in the header.php template file find the , and below it you will find something like * ` <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-blah" />` * Or something like that, change this too: * ` <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php bloginfo(' charset'); ?>" />` * This should call teh charset based on the setting you set in your Admin Panel options – make sure that is set correctly too and report back if it made any difference. You wouldn’t add the charset to your stylesheet in this instance ( I don’t know, I guess a lot) * Thread Starter [daveny87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daveny87/) * (@daveny87) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-or-what/#post-215629) * a blogszövegben, ha jól emléxem, de mindjárt lecsekkolom! * Thread Starter [daveny87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daveny87/) * (@daveny87) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-or-what/#post-215631) * Thx Jinsan.

I set the codepage utf-8 in the admin area. * I realized, that the hungarian characters are not displayed at all. * For example i edit the blogname to “Modelreptér és lejtÅ‘kalauz” then i save them and displayed is the folloving: “Modellrept??r ???s lejt?kalauz” * Any idea? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-or-what/#post-216336) * Mint azt mondani szokják: a hiba az ön készülékében van… Nézd meg [ezt](http://www.transycan.net/hidden/) * [Dreamers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreamers/) * (@dreamers) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-or-what/#post-216337) * Wow! * mi lehet a baj? What could be the problem? If i edit the blogname directly in phpMyadmin, the characters are saved correctly into the database and phpMyadmin shows them correctly. As i start WP and show my blog all hungarian characters will be destroyed. * [Dreamers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreamers/) * (@dreamers) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-or-what/#post-216341) * I uploaded my blog to my provider and found out that everything is fine now. * All the hungarian characters are displayed correctly. * [mohikan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mohikan/) * (@mohikan) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-or-what/#post-216394) * Hi! * I have same problem, with my blog… since I installed, anything work fine, but today, the hungarian characters are wrong (example: é=?? etc.). * I try rewrite the header.php… not worked.
