I first created a simple HTML page that uses UTF-8 as its character encoding.
Then I moved the HTML content as a view in codeigniter and it was still ok (I had used non-english characters that were ok as always)
I added a simple dynamic functionality (there is a contact us form in it that emails users feedback
to site admin).
Please note that the characters were ok at localhost (which is a LAMP server running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
Strange is that when I uploaded the app
to server, all persian characters are shown as ???? (For example ??? (which means Name) is shown ??? and so so...)
I have not even connected
to mysql or any other DBMS.
It's the only page in the website (it's more an under construction page) and nothing else has been used in it.
Maybe I should state that I have also used session library
to thank the user after his feedback was sent
to admins, nothing else.
I have really no idea about the problem.
UPDATE
Now I can see that the problem is only with cPanel. On Directadmin I can see that everything is normal.
Both Chromium and Firefox DO
use UTF-8 as page's character encoding.
URL is http://WEBSITE.COM/dmf/dynamic/ (dmf is the abbreviation of the project name!). There is nothing non-english in the URL.
The page's code is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
