Using html entities in mobile webapp

Question

I created a simple webapp using jQuery Mobile 1.2. Now I want to know whether it is better to use html entities in page body or should I write texts with all characters in utf-8 charset? Both ways work correct but which one is usual?

Thanks in advance!

`characters in utf-8 charset` surely. – Jai Mar 20 '13 at 19:31 — Jai, Mar 20 '13 at 19:31

UTF-8 should be your choice. Better, safer and modern.

Use entities only for symbols messing with your HTML markup. like < > ...
