First of all, stop triple-posting to each list. Choose one address, and 
stick to it.

As for your question; the character set needs to be announced as well as 
set. So to display in UTF-8, you need to:
1. make sure the document is actually encoded using the UTF-8 charset
2. make sure the browser recieves an HTTP header which tells it the 
content is in UTF-8: header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8')
3. make sure the document itself states its encoding is UTF-8 (usually 
done using a <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=utf8"/>

If your output conforms to all three of these, it will work. It probably 
does not conform to it however.
