[fw-general] utf 8 problem

[Expertics]

Greetings

I've configured utf 8 in my site, but I have a problem when I use render, by 
example :

view
-layout
-- layout.phtml
-scripts
-- categoria
---- view.phtml
filemessage.phtml 


filemessage.phtml
<p align="center">
<b>Ver categoría</b>
</p>


a) If I use render in the layout, its OK 

output -> ver categoría 

b) In other place  (for example in view.phtml), it didn't show correctly 

output -> ver categor?a

how can I to solve this?

Notes: I've used these scripts
- <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">  (layout)
- $db->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); (bootstrap)
- utf8_spanish_ci (database)
