Re: [Solved] WordPress messing up Special Characters like é, ü and other letters.

Do you have your page set to “utf-8”, or are you using “8859-1”?

In HTML5, you can set it using

in the head of the page.

Another thing you could do is use the HTML escape codes like “à” would be “à” (decimal), “&#x00e0” (hex), or “u00e0” (still hex) inside of javascript.
