Hello. Instead of Russian characters, hieroglyphs are displayed in the browser (phpstorm). I set utf-8 in the settings. If I write, then everything is displayed normally, but how to set it up without it?

Answer 1

Source files are not in utf8

Answer 2

Just in case: the
encoding can be changed in .htaccess by adding the
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 field
