Strange problem,
Web pages encoded in utf-8 are appearing on customers' browsers as
iso-western european. This means that characters like the British £ symbol
get messed up. No amount of tinkering with browser settings or the server
settings has helped. Any ideas what the root of the problem might be?
The page in question is www.itchy-coo.com (displays fine on my browser, and
other North American browsers, seemingly). I'd appreciate knowing if other
people see the problem that my clients see.
I use <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> in
the html head. Is there a better way of signifying the encoding without
haveing to upgrade the website to XHTML?
Other pages on the same server encoded in utf-8 display ok. Wierd eh? Or am
I missing something obvious?
Thanks

What code are you using for the pound signs in the original HTML?
£ or £ ?
View source shows a ? here. Could it be that you copy pasted code in
an editor that isn't set to use utf-8?

I see ? on other characters, too, like the em/en dash used in the age
ranges on http://www.itchy-coo.com/primary.html.
Change the character encoding to iso-8859-1 and everything displays
normally.

That could be it. The editor (AceHTML) does have settings for different
encodings, but it is a bit glitchy. It also changes £ and £ to £ in
the editor, which is an irritation.
Many thanks

Very strange, I have used AceHTML 5 (free edition) for a long time and
made pages with utf-8 encoding (e.g. http://hem.bredband.net/arnel/ ).
Never have problems with it.
At least some of your encoding problems is the js files (e.g.
"wordofday.js") . Have you write (and saved) them also in AceHTML with
the utf-8 encoding?

You seem to have fixed it now? The server is sending charset=utf-8

Many thanks for all your comments. I have fixed it. AceHTML was adding in a
line <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> in
an automated fashion, but saving as ISO. The weird thing was that everybody
who looked at it in my part of the world (Canada) saw the correct display
(from the server HTTP headers, which were in fact set), while everybody in
Europe saw a mess.
I've been using AceHTML for years, and have always liked it, but the latest
version is full of bugs and crashes. Can anyone suggest a better text editor
with a similar feature list, and either free of very cheap?

Hi...
Just noticed something odd... In old ASP if you had query parameters that
were invalid for their encoding (broken utf-8, say), ASP would give you back
chars representing the 8-bit byte value of the broken encoding, so you still
got something for every input byte.
This appears to have changed radically in ASP.Net, going down to the base
System.Text.Encoding object. Now, it appears to simply vaporize bytes that
