Character Set

From Svg wiki

To properly use the utf-8 and utf-16 character sets, you need to define it in the HTTP header.

This can be done using the .htaccess file on Apache server

for utf-8

AddCharset UTF-8 .htm
AddCharset UTF-8 .html
AddCharset UTF-8 .svg
AddCharset UTF-8 .svgz

and for utf-16

AddCharset UTF-16 .htm
AddCharset UTF-16 .html
AddCharset UTF-16 .svg
AddCharset UTF-16 .svgz
