are you specifying the correct content-type in the headers? if you've got a meta tag in the HTML saying it's one type, and the headers saying it's another, then the headers will win out.

I had the same problem, I think.

My characters weren't displaying properly on page, coming up as squares, I added the charset='utf-8' meta flag in the header and had no probs since.
