   Although the general coding is right (é and others displaying in the menu, title, ...), the texts of the posts do not display any special character. It is under iso-8859-1, yet. If I turn to Utf-8, it is worse.
   Not that it displays something strange instead: it displays nothing... like: "Voil, malgr tout," instead of "Voilà, malgré tout,". But the letters ARE in the database, I double checked that.
   So it is a matter of how posts are fetched - displayed, but I can not seem to pinpoint were it happens, and, even stranger, it happens in my online blog, but not on my developpement server O_o
   Any idea ??

   This may be worth a try.
   Add this to your .htaccess file:
   AddDefaultCharset utf-8
   or
   AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1
   Choose the one that matches your chosen wp encoding.

   Done, already, does not change anything. If you look carefully, it is just like the post + comments output where going through a function that suppresses all accentued + ç + ... characters. In my selfmade *last comments* function, it does not...
   But, thank you for trying :-)

   Doesn't work for me. I have a similar problem. Only one plugin activated (wppaginate), automatic xhtml-correction off, .htaccess-file yes or no, but still my posts that were written in UTF-8 show up terrible, éven when using UTF-8 through Firefox.
   Everything is OK again when turning to iso-8859-1, but the posts were NOT written that way I'm sure... :(

   I will go and try to disable the plugin soon, but what do you mean with that the database also has a default coding? Where in the database can I find this? Because in the optionstable in the database, the value follows the value/method I choose from the optionsmenu in the administrationarea.

   Well, if you do use a tool like PHPMyadmin to access your DB (as I do, I have much more than only my blog on it), I noticed that already twice it caused problems of encoding.... so...
