I have a website, and I can send my Turkish characters with jQuery in Firefox, but Internet Explorer doesn't send my Turkish characters. I looked at my source file in notepad, and this file's code page is ANSI.
When I convert it to UTF-8 without BOM and close the file, the file is again ANSI when I reopen.
How can I convert my file from ANSI to UTF-8?

Download and install this powerful free text editor: Notepad++ Open the file you want to verify/fix in Notepad++ In the top menu select Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 (option without BOM) Save the file.
ANSI and UTF-8 are two types of text encoding. The former is the default encoding that is used when you save text files created in Notepad, the text editor included in the Windows operating system.
Regarding this part:
When I convert it to UTF-8 without bom and close file, the file is again ANSI when I reopen.
The easiest solution is to avoid the problem entirely by properly configuring Notepad++.
Try Settings -> Preferences -> New document -> Encoding -> choose UTF-8 without BOM, and check Apply to opened ANSI files.
That way all the opened ANSI files will be treated as UTF-8 without BOM.
