  • On this page (WP) http://jamiestclair.com/band/ the charset is UTF-8, but the special characters in names such as Kai Brückner, and Kai Schönberg are showing up as Kai Sch�nberg A utf-8 encoding should take care of that….

    Header is:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=utf-8" />

    The odd thing is the problem with the characters not rendering is in HTML on the .php file that is producing the page. The exact same names are in the body of the text which is in the WP db – and they are rendering correctly. It is just the characters in the HTML on the .php template page which is not rendering.
