 * Hi.
 * I have a page using the blankpage template into which I have placed a Dynaform
   contact form. This was the only way I could figure out how to make custom text
   fields for my mail form.
 * It works fine, except that the character encoding for “foreign” characters is
   completely wrong. It is essential for me to fix this since the form users are
   Norwegians and we love to use our strange additional letters.
 * I have tried to add a character meta tag directly into the head of the dynaform
   php document, but that breaks the form for some reason. I cannot manually add
   it to a new blank page template because there is no head tag in that, and adding
   it manually to the main header seems pointless since the admin control panel 
   already does that. (It is set to UTF-8 for the entire weblog).
 * What do do?

 * Bump. Still no solution. Having the same problem with another form now too.
 * Would love it if anyone knew why all php scripts relying on pages outside of 
   the embedded code seem to get broken charsets if the main header of the page 
   has a set text encoding.
