What encoding format should the template file be saved in to avoid page garbled characters?

Hello! As an experienced CMS website operator, I am well aware that every detail in content publication and website maintenance can affect user experience.Page garbled is one of the common and annoying problems, it is directly related to the correct presentation of content.According to the document specification of Anqi CMS, there is a clear and simple solution to this problem.

Avoid page garbled text: Uniform requirements for the encoding format of AnQi CMS template files

In the conventions of AnQi CMS template production, it is explicitly stated that all template files should be unified in useUTF-8 encodingFormat saved. This is a key requirement to ensure that the website content can be displayed normally and avoid the appearance of garbled characters.

UTF-8 is a widely used character encoding format that supports the Unicode standard and can represent almost all characters and symbols in the world.This means that whether it is Chinese, English, Japanese or any other language text, as long as it uses UTF-8 encoding, it can be correctly parsed and displayed in different operating systems and browsers.For AnQi CMS, developed in Go language, the system has good support for UTF-8 internally, therefore, maintaining consistent UTF-8 encoding in template files is the basis for barrier-free display of content.

If the template file uses an encoding format other than UTF-8, such as GBK, GB2312, or ISO-8859-1, when the server or browser tries to parse these files, it will cause the characters to be incorrectly identified due to a mismatch in encoding, resulting in a series of garbled characters, making the page content unreadable.This severely damages the professional image of the website, also greatly affects the user's experience in obtaining information, may lead to user loss.

Therefore, whether creating a new template or modifying an existing one, the template creator must ensure that the file is saved with UTF-8 encoding.For users of the Windows operating system, this is particularly important, because the default text editor of the Windows system (such as Notepad) may use other local encodings when saving files.When saving template files, please make sure to explicitly select 'UTF-8' as the encoding format in the save dialog box, or use professional code editors (such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, Notepad++ etc.), which usually support UTF-8 by default and provide clear encoding selection options, which helps to avoid such problems from occurring.By using UTF-8 encoding uniformly, we can effectively prevent page garbling and ensure the stable and accurate presentation of the content of the Safe CMS website.
