Hello all,

I’m trying to include a php page with special characters.

My page is encoded with UTF-8  
\<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=utf-8” /\>

I use this script to include the php page  
\<?php include("\_nav\_fr.php"); ?\>

In my include page I have :  
\<li\<?php if ($thisPageFR==“À propos”)echo " id=“currentpage”"; ?\>\>\<a href="#"\>À propos\</a\>\</li\>

In a browser, the “À” is more like a “?” with a grey losenge… :puzzled:

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks! :thumb2:
