He made the same assumption I did: you declared that your file was UTF-8 but
actually it wasn't. :-)

The keyboard has nothing to do with it. The problem is how you save the
file.

You should see if the "Save as..." command of your text editor (or HTML
authoring tool) has an option like "Save as UTF-8".

If it doesn't, see if your Notepad utility has it option. If it's there (I
don't remember in which version of Windows it was added). You just open your
file and save it selecting "Save as UTF-8".

You can also use an utility to convert the character set. E.g., try the
"iconv.exe" utility from libiconv
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617).

Ciao.
