I am having the same problem (and possibly a solution). I run a website at:

http://carcynic.com

(OK, small plug, but it's relevant)

The site is largely related to Citroen automobiles, which is properly spelled with an umlaut (..) over the 'e'.

I use ALT-U-E to enter the umlaut-ed 'e', and it looks fine while editing, and in preview, but when the page is viewed, it appears as a bunch of incorrect characters.

I edited the header templates and changed the encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.

Now the pages, including the umlaut-e, render correctly.

Is there anything wrong with this solution?

Why is it ISO-8859-1 by default?

The default ( in your case ISO-8859-1) is set by the web server you are on.

A 747 was halfway across the Atlantic when the captain got on the loud speaker, "Attention, passengers. We have lost one of our engines, but we can certainly reach London with the three we have left. Unfortunately, we will arrive an hour late as a r esult." http://www.mmomesos.com
Shortly thereafter, the passengers heard the captain's voice again, "Guess what, folks. We just lost our third engine, but please be assured we can fly with only one. We will now arrive in London three hours late."

At this point, one passenger became furious. "For Pete's sake," he shouted, "If we lose another engine, we'll be up here all night!" http://www.mmohome.com
