Character switching problem

Xoops, by default, defines character as charset=ISO-8859-1
which is Western character encoding; however when I go to my story module and wfsection modules, some of the page automatically change to Unicode (UTF-8). I don't know what's wrong. How do I fixed this?
Thank you

check the charset in language/YOUR_LANG/global.php
then check your theme charset (maybe charset hardcoded here ) and templates for wfsection module

also some modules hardcode the charset in .php files of blocks, so check the files in folder /blocks/ of that module too.

Dear all,

I tried the following tools in the first place:
1) Apache 2.0.53
2) MySQL Max 4.1.10
3) PHP 5.0.3

However, I find that PHP5 is having problem when switching character set. Also, Apache 2.0.x by default will set default charact set to UTF-8.

So, my solution it to downgrade PHP to version 4.3.10 and update Apache's configuration file (httpd.conf) to comment the following line:
# AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

Hope this can solve your problem. :)

Regards,
Murphy
