So, I don't really understand why APACHE and/or the MySQL server seems to be set up in ISO-8859-1.
However, I want to change this to UTF-8 to generally simplify the use of JavaScript and similar. As, well, the general charset commonly agreed is UTF-8.
So, if anyone could point me to a guide, or be kind enough to write me/us a guide here, that would be greatly appreciated.

C'mon folks. There must be someone else who has gotten this problem???
Having ISO-8859-1 as the standard charset for a server is just downright troublesome. Am I seriously the first one to notice? I HGIGHLY doubt that, so, is there anyone out there who can confirm that it's at least flipping possible?

As a beginner programmer (and self-taught), there's not much I can offer. What I normally do to change the charset is just input:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
into the <head> section of my html documents.
i.e.:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello!</p>
</body>
</html>
If you want to change the charset of a php file, I would recommend:
<html>
<?php
echo "<head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /></head>"
?>
</html>
ONE MORE THING that I can offer (albeit as a lead) is to search through:
C:\...wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\conf\httpd.conf
for something such as "CHARSET =" or "DEFAULT CHARSET =" and edit it there.
I'm sorry if I answered your question completely wrong, which, looking back at it, I probably did.
