However sometimes there is a need to unset default charset as well (for instance if the AddDefaultCharset is set in the apache config and this is causing problems).

This is very easy to do just edit the .htaccess file and add a line that says

AddDefaultCharset OFF

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

If you only wish to do this to php or htm files (and not all files)

<FilesMatch "\.(htm|php)$">
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
</FilesMatch>

If you wish to modify the mime-type as well as the encoding (on html files in this example)

AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html
