Does the browser detect the UTF-8 encoding? (See what's checked in the Caracter encoding menu in the browser when viewing the page) Also check the generated html. May be you can add this in the head tag of the pages to make sure it's detected properly: | <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> | Sometimes, it's also required to have set properly.
