<%@ page contentType = "text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>

Yes, you are storing the page as ISO-8859-1 so you must serve the page
as 
ISO-8859-1
changing the meta tag to UTF-8 doesn't magically convert the page to 
UTF-8.

If you want to serve the page as UTF-8 you must also save the page as 
UTF-8.
The meta tag is just a hint to the browser which charset the page is 
using.

Check you html editor to see if you can change the encoding to UTF-8
when 
saving.
