Special characters not displaying correctly [closed]

Question

I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times, but all of the other questions I've seen haven't been able to shed any light on the problem.

I'm developing a site for a Norweigan client and obviously they'd like to use their native language to display some content.

The problem is, some of the special characters aren't displaying correctly and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

An example can be seen at the link below

As you can see, some characters are displaying as the question mark in a black diamond instead of the ø or å that they're supposed to.

The encoding of pages is set to UTF-8 if that helps.

Answer 1

Make sure all your database tables are encoded in UTF-8.

Also, your element's lang attribute is still specifying "en-US". Have you installed the WP language pack for the specific flavour of Norwegian you want to use?

Answer 2

Your content is not UTF-8 encoded. Setting the HTTP-Header to UTF-8 doesn’t fix it, you have to fix the data base. Read and follow MySQL is destroying my Umlauts.
