Ive been making a website for a technology fair project, and it has come to a stage where I want to make it more universal. However when I try to add another language (Chines Mandarin as an example) It just converts the text to some wired english characters.

Here is my example Website

<html lang="cmn">
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>

<body>
    <!-- This is meant to say in Mandarin "This is some text" -->
    這是一些文本
</body>
</html>

But when the page loads, this is what I get

 這是一些文本

Im pretty sure that its not some settings in my browser Firefox, because I've or so tried it in Google Chrome

Any suggestions?

Add the following meta definition inside your head tag:

<meta charset="utf-8" />
