acute grave and accented letters

[grucker]

If one inserts acute letters, grave letters, ampersands and accented letters in xhtml they show perfectly on the page.

However if one uses insert or rss feed they show as � or a square.

 

How does one make them show correctly.

Eventually found this was 2 different problems. The inserts issue was solved by using htmlentities(); Like,,

htmlentities($french= strftime("%A %d %B %Y - %H:%M",time()));

echo htmlentities($french);

The Rss feed issue was one of different coding I am using UTF-8 and the feed was using ISO-8859-1 I found that using

iconv() did the trick, like,

<p style="margin-bottom:0px;">'.iconv ( 'UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1', $item->description ). '</p>
