Everithing must be set as utf-8: 1) The files need to be saved as utf-8. Even the .js files Its not the same saving a txt file using notepad, that using an editor that saves the file as real utf-8 files, that can include (or exclude) the Unicode Signature (BOM) 2) Your html must have the proper <meta> tag declaration <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> 3) You server must be serving the files as utf-8 Sometimes your server is not configured to serve utf-8 files by defaul, so you need to force it to deliver utf-8 stuff 4) You database must be set as uft-8 as well Same as the server, some times you need to force it, otherway you are fucked When one of the 4 things its not doing his job right, real nighmares can happend, and you will end up using a bunch of encoding/deconding functions that will drive you crazy. Only when you have all the combo working in utf-8 you will apreciate his goodness. Are you working with php, asp, ruby?
