The character set of a document is determined in part by the language it is
written in. For most Web browsers, you can override the default character set
setting for a document, a set of documents, or a directory by selecting a
resource and entering a character set for that resource.
Most Web browsers can use the MIME type charset parameter in HTTP to
change its character set. If the server includes this parameter in its response,
the Web browser changes its character set accordingly. The following are
some character set examples:
Content-Type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Type: text/html;charset=iso-2022-jp
The charset names recognized by Netscape Communicator are specified in
RFC 1700 (except for the names that begin with x-). These charset names
include the following:
us-ascii
iso-2022-jp
x-euc-jp
Additionally, the following aliases are recognized for us-ascii:
ansi_x3.4-1968
ansi_x3.4-1986
