If you want to change the apache2 default charset in Ubuntu try this procedure
You need to edit this file /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset
next you should change the line
#AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
to
AddDefaultCharset {YOUR_DEFAULT_CHARSET | Example: UTF-8}
save and exit the file
Now you need to restart the apache server using the following command
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Incoming search terms:

I have been struggling with this for a time.

Be careful with this one since it can bite you.
According to the Apache manual:
It even overrides the content-type meta tags in the body of a page. I don’t think this makes sense, but that’s how it works.
