html - Charset omitted from content-type header -


in <head>, have:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> 

because i'm seeing couple of funky characters, took closer @ content-type response header in firebug (and safari's inspector) , both read content-type:text/html. no indication charset recognized. i'm using html5 doctype , have tried <meta charset="utf-8" />. neither has worked or changed value see in inspectors.

i'm assuming both developer tools report accurate content-type including charset, guess i've never had reason closely. there else should ensure page rendered utf8 character set?

i'm not sure problem, seemed odd thought i'd ask. maybe expectations incorrect.

thanks.

although may not have been problem, "corrected" content-type response header appear expected (with charset attached) including apache directive adddefaultcharset utf-8 in htaccess file.
