The page answering AJAX call should specify charset too...

Make sure your server-side code sends a HTTP Content-Type header with a
proper charset parameter e.g.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
The charset parameter value to use depends entirely on how the data is
encoded, UTF-8 is just an example.

I have added the line

header("Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");

in my PHP server side file..
but still am not getting the characters right!!!

In what charset are your html datas encoded ?

With which browser(s) does that happens ?

With my tries about Ajax on a server that does'nt send charset headers
I use only files written (coded ?) in utf-8

I have same problem as yours with files in utf-8 only with Safari which
wants absolutely to read them in iso-8859-1.
For him I inserts the xml declaration on top of files to call :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
and that seems to fix the question.

I use only files written (coded ?) in utf-8

First i have set the header in the to of PHP action file
header("Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
but it doesnt take any effect

Then i removed it and i converted all my data with
utf8_encode($germ_data);
Now it is working well..

i am just getting whole the data from the server with responseText
and keeping all the data in a DIV with InnerHTML property..
So does i need to go for
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
in the page top?
