Problem with accented letters

[idude]

Hello,

Every time I type a word that has a letter with an accent I get this symbol � instead of the letter on my webpage, does anyone know how fix this?

Try adding this to the head area

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

I had this in there: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
