Solution 1:

if using notepad++, use Convert to UTF-8 without BOM.

if you are using php, make sure that any included/required file is in either in ascii or UTF without BOM, as php doesn't handle non-ascii file very good (this one gave me a headache once)

on your <meta charset > try writing the value within quotes

The free text editor PSPad has a hex editing mode which is very handy for seeing exactly what you really have in your text files.
