[solved] Emojis and symbols render as nonsense unicode in Rodauth views.

[kyle-rader]

I've got a footer partial view that looks like

<div class="flex p-4 text-center font-mono">
    <div class="grow hover:underline">
        Contoso ™
    </div>
    ...
</div>

And on the main pages of the application we get the Emoji we expect:

But then only on the Rodauth views (Sign in, Sign up, etc), we get this instead:

Does rodauth do anything interesting regarding character encoding??

Fixed it - I feel silly, I was missing a <meta charset="utf-8"> in the main application layout. Somehow the encoding was being guessed correctly on the other pages, but not the Rodauth view. But the meta tag does fix this.
