Hi
If you are seeing " appelé au téléphone" in the browser, I would guess that
the data is being rendered in UTF-8 by your server and the content type of the
html is set to iso-8859-1 or not being set and your browser is defaulting to
iso-8859-1.
You can force the encoding to utf-8 in the browser, usually this is a menu item
(in Chrome/Safari/Firefox).
FWIW having messed around with this kind of stuff in the past, I always
generate utf-8 and always set the HTML content type to utf-8 with:
<meta contentType-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
Cheers
François
