According to the Apache manual: <blockquote cite="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset">AddDefaultCharset should only be used when all of the text resources to which it applies are known to be in that character encoding and it is too inconvenient to label their charset individually.</blockquote> 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. Be careful with this one since it can bite you.
According to the Apache manual:

AddDefaultCharset should only be used when all of the text resources to which it applies are known to be in that character encoding and it is too inconvenient to label their charset individually.

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.
