Korean is not recognized in HTML page
Question by ProgrammingNerd
When I type Korean in my html code and open it through my browser, Korean is not recognized by the browser and prints some weird words. What shall I do?

There must be few mistakes you are making.
-
First, You should have a doctype specified on your HTML page. Use HTML5 doctype
<!DOCTYPE html> -
Second, you should specify the character encoding of the document as well. So, add:
<meta charset="utf-8" />In your head section. Or for a longer version with better cross browser compatibility use:
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'>
Also as Juhana said, your file must be saved with same encoding (i.e. Unicode UTF-8) to be able to store Unicode characters and display them.
