<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />is only added whenJFactory::getDocument()->setHtml5(true);isn't defined in the template'sindex.php.So, it would seem the template you mentioned has NOT set HTML to
trueand have manually included<meta charset="utf-8">in the<head>.This is not a core issue, but simply a matter of the template not using the correct methods.
