And the plot thickens...
If I change the character encoding in core.php to:
Configure::write('App.encoding', 'ISO-8859-1');
Then suddenly the text shows up correctly. Which means that even though I'm
specifying UTF-8 as the character encoding, cake is still using ISO-8859-1
(or Windows-1252?) encoding while saying that it's using UTF-8. How
frustrating!
