Strange Charset ?@ on webpage

It’s found strange character ?@ keep appearing in webpages hosted from new webserver :

Turns out that apache configuration need to comment out below line and restart apache to fix that :

#
# Specify a default charset for all content served; this enables
# interpretation of all content as UTF-8 by default. To use the
# default browser choice (ISO-8859-1), or to allow the META tags
# in HTML content to override this choice, comment out this
# directive:
#
#AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

Probably, those old webpage do contain some strange characters , probably result from being updated from non-unicode webpage editor.
