Try $wgDisableOutputCompression = true;

There's been some reports of issues like this due to some conflict between apache's http/2 support and mediawiki's gzip support, but I don't think anyone ever figured out the exact cause.

Folks,

MediaWiki:1.35.1 (63b3fbf)
PHP:7.4.13 (fpm-fcgi)
MariaDB:10.3.25-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.20.04.1-log
ICU:66.1
LuaSandbox:3.0.3
Lua:5.1.5
Server version: Apache/2.4.46 (Ubuntu)

Fresh install.

Hoping some one can point me in the right direction. Seems I have a
charset problem. When logged out, all pages display the black
diamond/question mark when characters don't render correctly. Except for
all the Special Pages, Version, Login pages. It's like pages created
after installation have a charset problem.

However, when I log in, all pages return to normal. Not even sure the
right question to ask other than is there a config in the LocalSettings
that would do different charset between logged out and logged in.

Vector Skin at legacy level.
$wgShellLocale = "C.UTF-8";
$wgLanguageCode = "en";

Both apache2 and php7.4 running utf8 charset.

Thanks for your advice!

Chap
