problem: pasting characters from MSWord into wysiwyg editor (tinyMCE)
When we paste text from Word (i.e. MSWindows) to the browser, and in
the text is any special character, like smart quotes, but also accented
letters, they show up incorrectly.
What we see is e.g.
=============
turtle species are Â"endangered Â" or Â"critically endangeredÂ"
=============
The strangest thing is that on our test server, where we have the same
website running, the problem does *not* occur, but we cannot find any
difference.
The head of our documents is using:
=============== ==
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
=============== ==
In a newer version of our system we use:
=============== ==
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US"
xml:lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
=============== ==
But that doesn't change anything. The problem still occurs
Where do these characters come from? How do we prevent this from
happening?

I don't know what "tinyMCE" is - but you need a "Unicode-savvy"
editor when pasting characters from MS Word. If I'm not mistaken,
MS Word encodes characters in UTF-8 or UTF-16.
Try Mozilla's Composer, for example.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

This is pointless. Rather make sure that your *webserver*
sends the correct Content-Type *including* charset parameter.

In a newer version of our system we use:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US"
xml:lang="en-US">
Why? Because XHTML is "newer"?
XHTML 1.0 *Transitional* is only used by the clueless.
If you use Transitional, you could equally well take HTML 3.2.
Take a look (or two) at http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/charset/

Ask Word to change the encoding of the characters to UTF-8, and then
declare that as your character set.

Looks like mislabelled utf-8. Configure your server to label it
correctly.

Real HTTP headers matter. That crap (normally) doesn't.

Newer? That's for legacy stuff. That is to say, stuff that
was marked legacy in 1997/98.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For "character set", read "encoding" (as the subject line correctly
stated it already), specified in XHTML by "encoding", and in HTTP by
the old (and now somewhat misleading) MIME attribute called "charset".
In HTML/XHTML, the "document character set" is *always*
iso-10646/unicode, irrespective of the external character encoding.
There's an important principle at stake.

I agree. It was just a bit of sloppy writing. I shall go back to
Jukka's page on ... that subject ... and get the terminology correct
yet again.
