### UTF-8 at the browser level
Use the `mb_http_output()` function to ensure that your PHP script outputs UTF-8 strings to your browser. In your HTML,
include the [charset `<meta>` tag](http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-utf8.html) in your page's `<head>` tag.
Use the `mb_http_output()` function to ensure that your PHP script outputs UTF-8 strings to your browser.
The browser will then need to be told by the HTTP response that this page should be considered as UTF-8. The historic approach to doing that was to include the [charset `<meta>` tag](http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-utf8.html) in your page's `<head>` tag. This approach is perfectly valid, but setting the charset in the `Content-Type` header is actually [much faster](https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/best-practices/rendering#SpecifyCharsetEarly).
