Weird characters in rendered view?

Hi, I'm starting to see weird characters when the view is rendered. For example,

Miaâ€™s

It should be

Mia's

BTW, I'm using the following to escape the output:

PHP Code:


			
<?php echo $this->escape( $this->model->name ); ?>

Does someone have a solution for this issue?

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad

Hi, I was able to resolve the issue that I was seeing by changing the line all the views:

HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=so-8859-1" />

to

HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

It seems that the charset was the culprit. Thus, changing it to utf-8 resolved the rendering issues that I was seeing in the views.
