Exporting files with and without UTF-8 encoding
Historically, web browsers were not able to display different character sets in a single HTML
document. For example, Chinese text and English text could not be displayed on the same
page because web browsers weren’t capable of displaying different character sets in a single
document.
UTF-8, which stands for Universal Character Set Transformation Format-8, is a text-
encoding method that allows web browsers to display different character sets on the same
HTML page. Fireworks allows you to export HTML with UTF-8 encoding.
In Fireworks, UTF-8 encoding is turned on by default so that any HTML document you
export can display characters from multiple character sets. You can turn off UTF-8 encoding,
if you prefer.
To export documents without UTF-8 encoding:
1. Select File > HTML Setup.
2. On the Document Specific tab, clear the UTF-8 encoding box and click OK.
