it looks like your page is not being served as utf-8.... or if it is, it's
not valid utf-8.

If your html editing program doesn't do utf... you have to encode it
yourself.

hi list,

i'm having a utf-8 encoded html document, where i'm adding some elements
  with jquery. i'm updating some selectboxes with this plugin
<http://www.texotela.co.uk/code/jquery/select/> but i'm having
difficulties adding values to selectboxes where i'm getting unknown
characters like �. my guess is that the plugin is causing this.
cause when i'm doing a simple:
$j('body').prepend('<p style="color:#FFFFFF;">&auml;ÖÜß</p>');
i'm getting �� so i guess i have to encode those, which would be ok.

weird, it's always the encoding of strings that cause me so much
trouble! dang!
