Dear [ocaml.org](http://ocaml.org) webmaster,

The OCaml text file manual is served with no encoding. It therefore displays some funky characters in my browsers (Firefox, Chromium, Android).

[https://ocaml.org/manual/5.3/ocaml-5.3-refman.txt](https://ocaml.org/manual/5.3/ocaml-5.3-refman.txt)

To correct this, just add the content header: `Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8`  
(In nginx, `charset UTF-8;`)

I suggest you post this as an issue over at [GitHub - ocaml/ocaml.org: The official OCaml website.](https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml.org). Thanks!

Cheers,
