 * hi there,
 * there was another topic but it was closed without final resolution so i could
   not reply.
 * so i moved my page to the php-hosting-provider strato, everyting fine.
    Then 
   i exported using wp2static and suddenly all the umlauts disappeared into something
   weird.
 * the hoster is using php7.3 (7.2 and 7.4 also available)
 * The dynamic page does not have any problems.
    Also <meta charset=”UTF-8″> is 
   set.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcharacter-encoding-u%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@mattblox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattblox/),
 * Is this to say it exported via WP2Static fine on the old host?
 * If so and you still have both hosts running, please compare the database encoding/
   collation and in case any overrides were altered in wp-config.php’s between the
   hosts. Else, if you did any manual migration via WP export import of posts.
 * Upcoming version 7 should not care as much about DB and site encodings as current
   V6, so encoding issues will soon be a thing of the past!
 * Cheers,
 * Leon

 * To fix this problem open file static-html-output-plugin/plugin/WP2Static/HTMLProcessor.
   php , find there:
    `->loadHTML($this->raw_html);` And replace to; `->loadHTML('
   <?xml encoding="utf-8" ?>' . $this->raw_html);`
