Just ignore anything that's specific to PHP and concentrate on the points that apply to static HTML equally well. — deceze, May 07 '14 at 13:55

If you can use Turkish encoding below will be the meta tag

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-9" />

else code Tarihçe as

Tarih&ccedil;e

Second one should work for any encoding `Tarihçe` – Hamed Ali Khan May 07 '14 at 13:01

Either replace at all places or change the encoding of the page – Hamed Ali Khan May 07 '14 at 13:06

While entity references like `ç` work in all encodings, they are awkward to use and they make the HTML source very difficult to read. Besides, they just hide the real problem, the encoding mismatch. – Jukka K. Korpela May 07 '14 at 13:30

Change the actual character encoding of the file to UTF-8, using whatever settings need to be used in the program you use to create and edit pages. The file is now in some 8-bit encoding, so the letter ç appears in the data as a byte that is not allowed in UTF-8; hence the � symbol (it indicates character-level data error).

Boopathi, that depends on the program you are using. – Jukka K. Korpela May 07 '14 at 13:30
