  • It will very probably solve your problem if you follow the advice properly. What encoding is the file you're in (look in your IDE) and what is the document's character set? – Pekka Jun 12 '13 at 07:15
  • my IDE SHOWS IT. (RAPID PHP) BUT I WAS USING NOTEPAD++ FOR PHP AND HMTL. IF I CONVERT FILES TO ENCODING UTF8 IN NOTEPAD++ , DOES IT WORK? – user2439722 Jun 12 '13 at 07:24
  • You need to make sure your source file is the same encoding as the web page, and also that the characters are in the same encoding. If you copy&paste it from your question above, the characters are guaranteed to be UTF-8, that may be a useful starting point. – Pekka Jun 12 '13 at 07:40

Maybe the font installed on your system doesn't have cyrillic symbols? Because on my system, your example is displayed correctly.

  • I mean, that depending on your system, maybe the font, your are using in your editor, doesn't have cyrillic symbols at all. So it soesn't matter, what code page you are using, you will always see ???. – hennadiy.verkh Jun 12 '13 at 07:33
