Your meta-tag says:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
But your web server says:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Meta elements are meant as a back-up for when no charset is available
from the HTTP response headers. When both are supplied, the headers take
priority and the meta is ignored.
So you need to tell your server to stop sending the wrong charset. (Or
give up and just use Latin-1 characters.) If you don't have access to
the main server config, you might be able to fix it locally by including
the directive:
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
or, if you want to rely purely on metas:
AddDefaultCharset Off
in a .htaccess file in the folder to change.
