Scandi,
Dartho came up with the fix :):
http://mobility.mobi/showthread.php?t=352

I also had to use the UTF-8 Character set inside the meta tag:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd (http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd)">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml (http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

Thanks for the info and many thanks to Dartho!. I always thought the code had to start with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Obviously either way works, maybe someone with more experience can explain if one way offers some advantages.


Congrats on the new site, it looks pretty good on my phone.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

For some reason when I started the code with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> at the beginning I would get errors on the ready report.
After doing some research I found out there are two other ways to set the Character Encoding.

The second way (which worked for me) is to place the following code inside the <head> ... </head> tags:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

The Third way supposedly (I have not tried it) is to modify the .htaccess file by adding this line:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

It appears that there are quite a few other sites with Character Encoding errors. I am by no means an expert at this, but maybe this will help someone else get a higher score at www.ready.mobi (http://www.ready.mobi)
Goodluck,
Ray

Thanks Ray, I hadn't heard of the htaccess method before. Another tool to add to the bag of tricks.
