Amazon AWS messing up characters – ’ (2)

Amazon AWS messing up characters – ’

Hey,

First of all, I'm not good with any of this IT stuff, so forgive me for any of my wrong wording.

When I upload my lander to Amazon AWS S3, it messes up the fonts. Examples:

Most basic symbols, " ' " and " – " are turned into " ’ ".

I though maybe the server doesn't recognise specific fonts so I tried a bunch, but nothing changed.

Any ideas?

In case anyone ever finds this thread where I'm having a conversation with myself and tries to tackle the same problem, here's how I solved it.

You have to put this into your lander's header:

<meta charset="utf-8">


I.e. whatever you have in between <head> </head> in your lander html code, this meta charset thingy should be there as well.

Hope someone finds this useful one day!
