how do i return UTF-8 from a function ?

[ricky spires]

hello.

 

im having a strange issue with a file.

 

my php page is working fine : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

 

all £ signs look as they should but if i have a £ sign in a function it comes back as a ? in a diamond.

 

this a short version of the function:

function stopDeals() {

echo '			
<b>for only £7.83 p/m</b></span></p>
';
} 

 

 

thankyou

rick

I tried your code and it is working without any issue? are you sure that you are including the  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

in all of your pages?
