Hi Lyn,
When I first tried your tip, it didn't work for me. But when I looked at
the tutorial you linked to, I saw that the
<?lc put header "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" ?>
was the very first line of the .lc file, before <html> or anything else.
When I tried that, it worked great! I had been inserting the command:
put header "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"
into the first line of my <?lc script on the page.... and that didn't work.
So now I have two solutions, and, yes, yours is quite simple!
Thanks so much for persisting on this with me!

If you put "set the outputTextEncoding to native" later in the script, UTF-8
above that line will be garbled; after that line it will show properly.
This can get unnecessarily convoluted if you have to keep alternating between "native"
and "utf-8" outputTextEncodings between different blocks of LiveCode script and HTML.
I can imagine that one would tend to forget to change the outputTextEncoding
somewhere along the way.
Did you run into any problems with the "put header" method that I had
suggested, where you only need to insert a single line at the top of the file?
I use the single-line solution and it works perfectly fine on many versions of
revServer and LiveCode Server, including 3.5, 6.6.2 (the one you’re using),
6.7.8, 7.1.1, and 8.0.0 DP 12.
This article on HostM.com also mentions the same solution. Perhaps it explains
it better than I did:
