Special characters display as garbage in Chrome

Question

I recently started using Chrome for web development (previously I used FireFox) and I've run into an issue.

If I submit the special character Ω via POST and then in PHP do die($_POST['thatvar']); , then FireFox shows the Ω symbol on the page (and in FireBug), but Chrome shows Î© on the page (though it shows Ω in the dev. tools).

Why is this happening?

Answer 1

use charset in the head

by adding

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

in your head

like :

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