I am having an problem. First time working with a windows server, do you know if there is any problem in character coding? My document is set to content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" but it's giving me funny words... you can check it here. This site is a pure HTML with few includes but anything else is just HTML.

I can convert them to HTML entities but that is basically wasting my time. I never had this problem with any website I did except for this.

Some others said "The problems seems to be that you have converted the text into utf-8 twice.". But how would Coverted it twice since dreamweaver should convert it for me but in this case it doesn't.

A: 

Ok I found a solution I don't know why but .... here is my solution...

before

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8 " />

after

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 " />

Just by changing the character set has fixed my problem.....

So the source is really in latin1? Then you, indeed, need to specify *proper* encoding, as you have done, or (preferably in XXI century) stick to UTF-8 and recode the source to it.
