Jitender Kumar the sample code you have shared is working fine in every single browser available at my end. Tested on: 1. HTML Viewer 2. Firefox 3. Google Chrome 4. Samsung Internet browser. Hindi text is getting rendered. Screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/JH7Mg9x.png Try importing Hindi fonts like the below example and see if works or not https://code.sololearn.com/WgVDnYcdXm59/?ref=app

Try to specify the 'lang' attribute in <html> tag, maybe it helps. <html lang="hi">

Seems to be working fine. Here is the screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/JH7qYPL.png Jitender Kumar Try to add this line in head tag and see if it works or not. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> Hindi is working for me without meta tag

Jitender Kumar Ensure to save the text file in UTF-8 encoding, maybe it's encoding problem. I saved the code above in my Android phone and it works just fine. Tested in built-in browser and Chrome.

Jitender Kumar 1. Did this problem persist in any other browser like Microsoft Edge or Firefox? 2. Did hindi fonts from the below mentioned code are getting rendered or not? https://code.sololearn.com/WgVDnYcdXm59/?ref=app [Edit] 3. Is this website opening correctly in hindi? https://m.jagran.com/

Jitender Kumar Please create a new file in Notepad++ and then take a screenshot of the "Save File" dialog just before you click the "Save" button. And share the capture link here. I just want to see the Notepad++ "Save File" dialog. So please, don't capture the entire screen.
