You need to define an encoding ("charset") if you want to transmit
special, non-ASCII characters. This is the same problem as with
your web server!

Your server sends "charset=UTF-8" whereas you have an additional
ersatz <META charset=ISO-8859-1>:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ww...dvertising.php
Delete the <META charset> line which has no use since your web server
sends already an encoding (charset). Set up your server correctly
http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset.html
so that it sends "charset=ISO-8859-1". For example, write
AddCharset ISO-8859-1 php
into your .htaccess file.
Consider writing all special Latin-1 characters as entities such as &quid;
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/...t/checklist#s1
Then it doesn't matter whether the encoding is UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.
