Hi,
I created a site with Italian content but some characters are showing up as question marks (please see attachment). I already changed the meta tag to but that doesn't help, the encoding is still UTF-8 and I need to manually change it to ISO-8859 in the browser's encoding setting for words to show up correctly. What am I doing wrong?
Appreciate any advice/hint/help. Thank you.

Encode files in UTF-8
Hello.
Probably to solve your problem all you need to do is encode your page.tpl.php, node.tpl.php etc... in UTF-8. Probably your text editor is encoding your files in some other format. UTF-8 includes all italian chars.
I think changing the charset in Drupal is not a good idea (because of rssfeeds, xml, etc...) and cannot be done except if you change core code.
