Unicode characters not displayed properly while pressing submit button in the website http://nepalicalendar.rat32.com/index_nep.php . It works fine with other.
I have a page http://nepalicalendar.rat32.com/index_nep.php. It displays the nepali unicode page correctly. But after i click the submit button named "View Calendar" Firefox displays unreadable unicode characters. However, other browser does not shows the same problem.
Is there any code i need to add so that Firefox will display unicode character after post method?
Help will be really appreciated if someone could figure out whats wrong going on!! Thanks in advance.
[Note: I have added utf-8 code for displaying the nepali unicode character]

Hi all,
I found the solution myself. The mistake i was doing was i had placed the tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
after favicon, title tags and meta description and title tags. After i placed tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
right after the head tag it worked fine. :)
Cheers.. :)

Check this out;
That resulting page is send by the server as windows-1252 encoding. If the server sends an encoding then Firefox uses that encoding and ignore the encoding as specified in a meta tag in the file.
Thanks for the reply. But i am looking the way to solve this problem. It seems that unicode that is fetched from database are being displayed properly however unicode characters in the php file are not displaying properly when using post method.
I am surprised why FIREFOX only has this problem!!!! ???

Unicode is only for the European section language, when you switch in the charset=utf 8 coding, the purpose is clearly visible :) for the hendi language.

charset:
This <meta> element must be inside the <head> element and within the 512 first bytes of the page, as some browsers only look at these first bytes before choosing a character set for the page.
