Steps to reproduce the issue
When there is an Article with Persian (my situation) content in it.
In Content -> Articles -> [a Persian Article] -> Versions
Then click on an old version.
Expected result
Expected to see the old version with right encoding.
Actual result
Yes, it is UTF-8. I've attached a simple text file in Persian.
temp1.txt
After your comment, I tested more articles and see many of them have this problem, yet some of them seems OK. For example see the following view from One article; older versions are fine but the newer versions aren't:
To be honest, I am not sure when this problem happens, but as I use "Versions" a few times a week, I can confirm that I haven't had this problem in Joomla! 3.6.0 and this happened after updating to Joomla 3.6.2.
If I can provide more information, please tell.
The file you attached contains only 2 lines It is not the original article for which you have issues.
It is badly encoded UTF8 WITH BOM and windows CRLF. Using these 2 lines does not create issues here.
Remark that in your screenshots above the article for which you have no issue has the correct label "Intro Text" while the other has nothing.
It looks to me that the articles you have issues with are copied/paste from an original which is NOT utf8.
If you have time, I can give you one username& password to check it yourself. I think this problem is not because of not being UTF-8.
I tested this problem in a few joomla 3.6.2 websites. nearly 50% of them have a similar problem and others don't (in my case) . I tried to check differences like PHP version or other settings, but the only difference that came to my mind is that the problem is in websites which are older. I mean those were originally 3.2 (at least) and then they are updated to newer versions, while others are updated from earlier versions. Maybe it is not the cause, but just wanted to notice.
Note: Typing in Persian or Copy&Paste didn't make any difference.
Note: In the source of troubled page the first lines are cut; it doesn't have:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-gb" dir="ltr">
<head>
...
<h3>
Just starts from <h3>.
OK, Please send a mail to me through my forum account:

I will need access to your db too.
BTW, first please check collation of your db and tables.
I got the same result as you did on your site until I modified the view in the browser to use Unicode.
This can normally be solved also by using in the .htaccess the line:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8, but it looks you have not implemented .htaccess on that site.
It looks like the http header sent by your Apache are wrong:
This is what I get here for my test site:
So, basically, I think this is not a Joomla issue
Thanks for your test.
Actually if you look the source of this page, you will see there is no header for this page and as I mentioned before it is cropped. It should be start by <html> tag but starts from <h3> tag and ignores previews lines.
Not really. One should look at the generated source, not at source.
Here it gives:
Sorry I didn't get your point exactly. I mean in troubled page there are some missing lines.
please take a look at my page:
in comparison to yours, there is no metadata or script here.
I can see only one possible issue: your LiteSpeed V6.9 server.
I am closing this at this time at it is not a core joomla bug but a server configuration issue

I do not get this error here:
Are you sure the original article is UTF8? Can you attach here a text file containing the text of the original article?
