I work on a website that has different language interfaces, so far I use english and german.

when the german text is loaded, it shows weird characters like the following screenshot

enter image description here

though I use

header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

and also in the html header

<META http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

what else can I do to solve it ?

Thanks

    The content of the page needs to also be in UTF-8. Your content was probably made using MS Word, which uses Windows 1251 encoding. You need to re-save your document as UTF-8.

    UTF-8 does not convert formats for you.
