Text Encoding Problem

    When I create a new post on my self-installed Word Press, I encounter the following problem:
    When I type, or paste, so-called ‘special characters’, like ‘ü’ or ‘é’, (my blog is in Dutch), they end up as ‘ü’ and ‘é’ in the Post Preview, in the actual Post, and also, if I want to edit the post afterwards, they appear garbled in the (WYSIWYG) editor.
    My database is setup in UTF-8. Actually, if I just copy and paste the text with PHPMyAdmin straight into the WP-Post table, it works just fine.
    So, somehow, TinyMCE, or anything else in the chain between the form in which i type my post, and the database incorrectly tries to interprete my typing.
    This happens in both Firefox and Safari on the Mac, and it started happening with version 2.6.1. I hoped that 2.6.2 would have fixed it, but it didn’t.
    Suggestions anyone?
