On an apache server, you can set it yourself in the .htaccess file. If I
understand it correctly, all you need to do is enter the following lines in
the said file:
AddType text/html utfml
AddCharSet UTF-8 utfml
Or, for that matter,
AddCharSet UTF-8 html
See http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#addcharset
