I am so sorry I bothered you with the previous two posts but problems occurred: proxy blocking, email error... Sniff! lmhelp2 is the same as lmhelp... Here is the post I wanted to submit: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi nakohdo,
Thank you for your precious help :) .
I am using "Firefox": in "View -> Character Encoding", "Unicode (UTF-8)" was and is checked.
Try opening the robots.txt in your browser and change the encoding to
UTF-8. With both "Firefox" and "Internet Explorer" Chinese characters aren't displayed properly. (The character encoding being Unicode (UTF-8) in both cases).
right click, "Save target as..."
I have "Save Page As..." So I saved the page as "robots.txt" and opened it with "MS Word". It proposed me to choose a specific encoding: I chose Unicode (UTF-8). And it worked! I could see the Chinese characters and other foreign characters too!
The robots.txt file you mentioned in your first posting doesn't
provide a mechanism
for telling its encoding so the browser has to guess or take the
defaul settings. So, I added, at the beginning of the file "robots.txt", the following code (without the starting dashes): --<html> --<head> --<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> --</head> --<body>
and at the end: --</body> --</html>
And I changed the file extension: robots.txt -> robots.html
Then, I opened it with Firefox and IE and I got the Chinese characters and the other characters properly rendered too!
Thanks for your brains :) . Sincerely,
