My question is simple: how do I get those goddamn question marks to disappear? This is what they should look like:

Åsmegin: Hin Vordende Sod & Sø
Györgi Ligeti: Mechanical Music

And this is what they look like on my webspace:
�smegin: Hin Vordende Sod & S�
Gy�rgi Ligeti: Mechanical Music

Stange thing is, they display PERFECTLY FINE on my compy. Same webpage, but doesn't work online for some reason. Any ideas why?

(Attached is the working version from my compy, which is the exact same version as that on my webspace).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You'll need to use the special character reference instead of the symbol itself for example:

Å would be & #197;
é would be & #233;
(Both without the space between the & and #)

http://www.chami.com/tips/Internet/050798I.html seems to have a list of all the special characters you would ever need.

How ya doing, buddy?

No you don't need special characters. You need to set the correct codepage.

Or you could've saved the list itself in utf-8 which is basically a universal codepage.

edit: heck, your codepage is correctly set so thats not even the problem. You have this extra unneeded line here:
Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
It sets the display to USA English, which doesnt have all the western european characters. Remove it and all displays fine.

And on an unrelated note, Györgi Ligeti is spelled as "György".

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sausageboots:
Thanks, using the special character codes fixed the issue!

evilboris:
I removed that line, but the question marks still displayed. Also in an unrelated note, I fixed the misspelling (thanks for pointing it out).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Thats strange, it worked fine for me. Also the linker.html you attached works too, and it has no en-us line in it either.

Next time just save your documents in utf-8, it'll save you a ton of trouble.
