Yes, if I do that in Chrome it looks a lot better. However if I change the page itself to UTF-8, which should be the same as doing it through Chrome, the results are not the same. It is still a garbled mess.Probably it has been noted before, but the character coding in the page source sometimes doesn't fit to the actual encoding of the text.
The character encoding in the page source is charset=ISO-8859-1 (Western), but the text is in Unicode.
For example in this post https://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1061631630&postcount=13381 I see something like "Yeah, I’ve thought …".
Edit: Is it possible that the post editor produces unicode but the overall page templates are made for Western?
When I switch to Unicode manually, I see the text correctly.
You can check that by changing the forum template (at the left bottom of the page). By default it is Lapis Watch. If you change that to Amber Watch, it uses UTF-8.
