Add publishing with utf8

Add publishing with utf8

[sindikat]

I use standard org-mode methods to publish my projects to html. However by 
default they are published with tag <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" 
content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"/>, however i need charset to be 
changed to "utf8", as i am using Russian in my blog too. Please make it 
possible somehow. Best wishes.

My html files are exported with charset=utf-8. I believe that that's
because my org-mode buffers are utf-8 and ultimately because I've
set LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

Try the following when visiting your org file (actually, a backup of your org file :-))

 o C-x RET f utf-8 RET

 o Save the file.

 o Then export it to HTML.

HTH,

C-h v org-export-html-coding-system

How about customizing the above variable?

I added this to my .emacs: 

(set-language-environment "UTF-8")
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(org-export-html-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) 

but Emacs still opens files with pure ASCII as undecided-unix, thus 
producing wrong iso-8859-1 in my charsets again. I don't know what to do. 
Is there any way to force Emacs open any file as utf-8?

This last one is wrong:

(setq org-export-html-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) 

might work better. This might be all you have to do, if Jambunathan K is
correct.

This is what I use. Even when I open a new file, the buffer coding
system is chosen as utf-8-unix, shown as U: in the mode line.

Maybe your environment is setup differently? What is the value of LANG
or LC_ALL or any other LC_* environment variable?

I have set LANG=de_DE.utf8.

Maybe C-h v file-coding-system-alist RET helps, if setting the
environment doesn't solve your problem.

Now i have 

(set-language-environment "UTF-8")
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(setq org-export-html-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) 

and publishing works perfectly. Funny, that i have every locale set to 
"en_US.UTF-8", but LANGUAGE and LC_ALL set to empty. But when i set them to 
"en_US.UTF-8", Emacs still opens non-utf8 files as "undecided-unix". In 
file-coding-system-alist i found expression ("" undecided) and when i 
changed it to utf-8-unix, every file started opening with this encoding. 

I've solved my problem, thanks to you all. 

I only not sure why opening everything as utf8 wasn't made default in Emacs.
