Configuration: Languages: Encoding and character sets

[rkg82]

Our Zoom configurations have the language encoding option set to UTF-8 because our web pages are UTF-8 encoded with a BOM (byte order marker) although some are UTF-8 without a BOM.

Does this matter to Zoom Indexer?

For HTML4 you should be using something like this on your HTML pages
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

For HTML5 something like this
<meta charset="UTF-8">

But in HTML5, UTF-8 is the default.

But if you have set UTF-8 in Zoom, then it will assume your pages are always UTF-8.
