I’m having trouble loading a local French / Spanish HTML within Windows Phone 7. the accent é becomes ýý in the BrowserControl within on the phone. they used to be an unrecognised symbol before I removed formatting in the html file. I hope the image help understand the problem, I can’t seem to find the reason why it’s changing.

Accent Character Mismatch

here’s the offending sample html repro

I took this into Expression Web, and saved it as a HTML file to use locally, within the WP7 app. i marked the HTML as Content, and loaded it using the code below

        StreamReader terms = new StreamReader(TitleContainer.
           OpenStream("html/terms.html"));  
        browserControl.NavigateToString(terms.ReadToEnd());

    I’d “guess” that your original file is saved as ASCII but the characters that aren’t displaying are non-ASCII and that you don’t have any encoding information in the HTML headers.

    Try re-saving the file as UTF-8.
