default_charset

PHP's default character set is set to empty. PHP outputs a character encoding in the Content-Type header. By default this is set to iso-8859-1, which supports languages such as English, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese, among others.

Example:

default_charset = "iso-8859-1"

If your application is geared toward languages such as Japanese, Chinese, or Hebrew, however, the default_charset directive allows you to update this character set setting accordingly
