This is a core hack and you should use it with caution and on your own risk
If you want to change the page encoding of your joomla site from UTF-8 to ISO-859-1 you can do this by editing
[....]/libraries/joomla/factory.php
search for 'utf-8'
you will find something like :
$attributes = array (
'charset' => 'utf-8',
'lineend' => 'unix',
'tab' => ' ',
'language' => $lang->getTag(),
'direction' => $lang->isRTL() ? 'rtl' : 'ltr'
);
replace it with
$attributes = array (
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
'lineend' => 'unix',
'tab' => ' ',
'language' => $lang->getTag(),
'direction' => $lang->isRTL() ? 'rtl' : 'ltr'
);
