special characters in wp themes with Firefox 3

    I have a WordPress blog as part of a large site and have only just got round to customising the default theme to make it look like the rest of my site.

    My customised header.php contains this line:

    <meta name=”keywords” content=”bandoneón” />

    This is served fine in IE7 but with Firefox 3 I get

    <meta name=”keywords” content=”bandone?n” />

    which is strange because if I do the same thing (include this file) directly in php, without wordpress, Firefox 3 has no problem!!

    Any suggestions? Changing the charset from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 makes no difference.

    Thanks for your help

    Okay I solved this. The posts were in utf-8.
    In manage -> reading
    “Encoding for pages and feeds” was set to utf-8. Changing this to iso-8859-1 has solved it.

    Best wishes
