Proposed text:
Character Encoding
Ensure that content is encoded using a character set that is known to be
supported by the target device.
Indicate in the response the character encoding being used.
How to do it
The supported character encodings for a device may be obtained either
from a device profile or by examining the value of the HTTP
Accept-Charset header sent with a request.
The character encoding being used in a response may be indicated using
the HTTP Content-Type header.
Example:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
For XML content the character encoding may be specified in the encoding
declaration [XMLENC]
Example:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
