    Hey, I'm working on a web site project that needs to have Latvian(Baltic) characters.
    I'm using UTF-8, but it's acting really odd. Some part of the website is the way it's supposed to be, the but other has massed up characers.
    If I change the charset to windows-1257 I get a invert problem - the other text is messed up and the other is right.

    Whats the problem?

    You can take a look at it here: http://libra.cervon.com/charset/?id=04

    (by the way, don't mind the menu and header it's just temporatly)

    Try pasting this in before your body tag...

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <title>LIBRA grāmatvedības pakalpojumu birojs</title>

    <meta name="keywords" content="libra, gramatvedība, gramatvedibas pakalpojumu birojs, finances" />
    <style type="text/css"> @import "http://libra.cervon.com/charset/inc/style.css"; </style>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8";>
    </head>

    I got the page to display the characters ok :
