My Umbraco 4 site does not show characters like ‘ (instead I get ‘), ’ (I get €™), ï (ï). Basically all characters that have an "alt + numeric keys" way of typing are replaced by other characters.
The problem is not in the way the content is stored, for when I look up the content in the database I see the original characters. Even more, when I create a usercontrol that just shows some quotes and add that to a teplate, those quotes are "replaced" too. And this happens both on Vista and on Windows Server 2003, on different IIS versions.
I cannot image Umbraco being unable to show content without messing things up (because I suppose that would have been fixed a long time ago), so this is obiously some kind of encoding-setting that I am missing. Anyone who knows how to handle this issue?
I did the upgrade and tried the settings change (as well as some other TidyCharEncoding settings), but unfortunately the problem still exists. The texts look fine in the HTML editor, even in HTML view, but when I look at them via the front-end, "problematic characters" are replaced...

Try going to umbracosettings.config and changing
to
You could also make an upgrade the latest version, which is 4.0.2.1
It's a well known bug in 4.0.1 I think.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

Hows about adding this in your template? (inside the <head></head>)
