I rechecked the response headers, interesting thing is the server that

even though it is sending the charset after I un-commented it in 

charset.conf.

So why does the old server work properly even though it does not 

explicitly set the charset, but the new server does not, even when it is 

set?

Is it the linux system itself that might be serving the file to apache 

weird?

[off-apache-topic] To eliminate all charset | meta | newer browser 

compliance | whatever questions and solve them later, why not manually 

just get rid of all non-utf-8 content?  It's trivial to find them using 

e.g.:

     grep -axv '.*' *.html

Mix and match to your directory content.  Note this assumes your 

'locale' is utf-8

One thing I did notice in the headers, is the old server has

transfer-encoding: chunked

but the new server does not have that, it has

Vary: accept-encoding

Seeing how it's an exact copy from the other server and the other server 

is fine I would think that's more of a Apache configuration isn't it?

The content itself does not specify a character set.

    Hi,

    I am moving my site from one server to another, both are apache 2.
    The files where tarred and zipped on one linux server and copied to
    another linux server.

    On the new server, any pages with a Unicode character is getting
    served with the black diamond and question mark.

    I enabled AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 on the new server it does not make
    a difference.

    What else do I need to change?

Are you sure your content is not producing html header with the wrong 

charset? I would inspect it.
