A browser will display text according the the charset specified in the HTTP response Content-Type header. That is usually set by the HTTP server (e.g. Apache AddDefaultCharset and AddCharset). So I suspect that in your case, your HTTP server is sending charset=ISO-8859-1 whereas the content is in fact UTF-8 (when one non-ascii character is rendered as two or three usually garbled characters it's an indication that UTF-8 is being rendered as some 8 bit codepage like ISO-8859-1). Note that the charset specified in the META tag within an HTML document is ignored when served over a network. I'm not certain what the charset in the META tag is for. I suspect it's for caching or when you open an HTML file from disk perhaps.
