Why are some characters not displaying correctly?

• Strange or “replaced” characters (e.g., �)
• Unreadable accented letters or special symbols
• Errors in the interpretation of the file by browsers and AI crawlers

• Description: The plugin automatically detects whether your server is Apache, Nginx, IIS, or something else. Automatically check if the `llms.txt` file is served with the correct header “Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8”.

• Description: If your server is Apache, you can use the plugin to fix everything with one click:
  1. Check the status of .htaccess.
  The plugin will notify you: if the file is writable, you can add the rule directly.
  2. Add the rule for “llms.txt”
  – Press the Add .htaccess Rule button
  – The plugin writes the configuration to the .htaccess file:
  
  <Files “llms.txt”>
  ForceType text/plain
  AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
  Header set Content-Type “text/plain; charset=UTF-8”
  </Files>
  
  – This ensures that the file is **always** served with the correct encoding.
  
  3. Remove the rule if you want
  – Press Remove .htaccess Rule to restore .htaccess as before.

• Description: If your server is not Apache, the plugin will show you the configuration to enter manually.
  Examples:
  

nginx
location = /llms.txt {
add_header Content-Type “text/plain; charset=UTF-8”;
default_type ‘text/plain’;
charset utf-8;
try_files $uri =404;
}

xml
<system.webServer>
  <staticContent>
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".txt" mimeType="text/plain; charset=UTF-8" />
  </staticContent>
</system.webServer>
