Hi, I first worked on a page with an external editor (simply Notepad++). Since the content is Italian, I set the enconding to UTF-8 and all the symbols I needed just worked. The relevant parts are:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
[..]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="it">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
[..]
When I opened those page in Visual Studio 2008 to start working on the real ASP.NET MVC application, the symbols I used (like è or ©) do not work anymore but they're rendered in the browser like © and Ã.
In the editor they look correctly, by the way. Right clicking on the page on IE reveals that the encoding is correctly set to UTF-8.
Any help? Thanks
