I can set content-type:text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 in the web page that I
display.
How does the browser set the character set for the data that is input in
text boxes?

It's a matter of selected keyboard layout on the client. If you have
Chinese selected you will be able to type Chinese.

Content-Type is used to set the charset for the output, but not for
input.
