The idea behind the example

The HTTP/1.1 specification says - if charset is not set in the http header then the browser defaults use ISO-8859-1. For languages like Polish, Albanian, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Slovene, there will be broken characters encoding from SSR.

You can overwrite Content-Type in getInitialProps. But if you want to handle it as a server side concern, you can use this as an simple example.
