Weird Characters appering in the browser

[ashish_tripathi]

My company's product help file is generated in WebHelp, but on the web I see in some pages showing some weird characters. When I checked my source file as actually what characters are they in the file, I see that the trademark signs (TM) , single quotes, and double quotes are appearing as a ? inside a diamond. I went through the script generated by Webhelp and see the character set Webhelp is using as charset=windows-1252, Can't we change it to UTF-8 so that its a universal character set and is recognize on all platforms and browsers.
Please let me know if there is a solution.
Thanks,
Ashish

UTF-8 is the norm with RH7. If you cannot upgrade, or do not want to, take a copy of your output and try changing it manually in one topic. If it works then use a multi file find and replace tool.
