Hi,

In my web page whenever i output french accented characters, they show in firefox as giberrish. for instance:

echo '<b>Entrez vos choix pour la première ronde</b>';

will display :'Entrez vos choix pour la premire ronde ' in firefox .

 

I also tested with safari and obtain the following and get the same thing. I'm on a mac, IE not installed so I couldn't test. I haven't given any thought to the internalization of my web site but I'm preparing something for my colleagues and they are mostly frenc.

 

Can you tell me how I can fix this?

 

Thanks for any help or pointers.

Have you given the page a character set?

You may gave to use the alt codes instead

 

Is the page saved in the proper encoding?

(as ANSI or something)
