Are characters such as àâáâãäåèéêë and others
like them considered UTF-8 characters? If it is
considered UTF-8 characters, it still manages
itself to be displayed correctly under
ISO-8859-1. The page contains those type of
characters and it is being displayed under
ISO-8859-1. However, if I chance the charset to
UTF-8, all those characters turns into a diamond
with a question mark in it (in Firefox) or
probably just question marks in Internet Explorer.

How can I fix this? How can I display those type of characters under UTF-8?
