I tried [using UTF-8] just yesterday with one of my sites, but it didn´t
work. I had the meta http-equiv and the http header, with character
encoding utf-8, but in my FF in Win XP it replaced with '?' any non
ASCII character.
You need to make sure the file is actually encoded as UTF-8. You can't
just label it as such and expect it to be so. That's like getting a
block of milk chocolate, sticking a dark chocolate label on it and then
wondering why it still tastes like milk chocolate!

As for the meta element, there is a much better way. Using the meta
element for specifying the encoding in HTML is considered bad practice
and it will not work in XHTML.

A person told me that as Win XP runs on Latin-1, the site will work
if I use tht encoding,
Latin-1 refers to ISO-8859-1. Windows actually uses Windows-1252 as its
default encoding, which is a superset of ISO-8859-1.
