This is what I see in firefox “â€
I wonder why.
To write characters outside the standard ASCII set (which is common among almost all encodings) without using HTML entities, you have to make sure that the file is actually saved using the encoding that you specify in the meta tag.
Your page is saved as UTF-8 (the default), which means that those characters will be wrong when the browser tries to decode them as Windows-1252.
