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
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.

Brian,
It appears adding $wgDisableOutputCompression = true; to Localsettings repaired my charset problem.
After your suggestion though, I realized I am using Ubuntu 20.04 but I am not using the distro packages of apache2 and php. I'm using the ondrej/ppa for both apache2 and php and have been doing so since early Ubuntu 18.04.
I might set up an other instance with distro versions and not ppa versions to see if I can recreate the charset exception. I will say it's happened with ppa version consistently over the six or eight months or so. I've done several fresh installations in which the charset issue has cropped up. At the moment I can't pinpoint, but after adding various extensions from Mediawiki along with Common.css/js and importing several templates and such from wikipedia is when it seems to start going south.
I appreciate your time. Thank you kindly.
