Yes. There are two basic ways to do this "automatically":

1. The web server is configured to use the desired
character-set and encoding as default for specific pages
2. A more portable) solution would be to use the HTML meta tags:

For example, if you wish to use utf-8 as the encoding, then
this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

should be added somewhere between the <head> and </head> of
the relevant HTML pages.
