Problems with Charset Encoding

Here's my workflow... I've built a CMS and users enter their content
through a WYSIWYG component which is a text area replacement. Then I
save that data to a flat file with an ASP extension (I've used FSO as
well as Text Streaming with Charset UTF-8).
>
When the page renders, I do a Server.Execute to present this file
inside the design. The problem is that I get all sorts of weird
characters. especially with some spaces, returns and especially on
curly quotes. Also... at the top of the file I get the BOM characters.
My pages are also using UTF-8. Has anyone else seen this? How can I
fix it?

Most likely you've failed to inform the browser that it is getting UTF-8.
You need:-

I tried adding that to the top of my host page and it didn't seem to
work. Take a look at http://www.lutherhaven.com/ Notice the left
side, the BOM ( ) at the top of the file and then the boxes
throughout the left side. Any other ideas? Is there something I'm
missing?
