You don't need a BOM (I assume that's what you mean by "those 3 special 
characters").
A HTTP header is sufficient, e.g.:

   Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Be aware that this will override any charset setting in the HTML's META 
tag.

Caveat: I don't know Notepad, but this applies to any software:
Maybe Notepad doesn't know how to display UTF-8, or possibly
it does but you need to tell it what encoding the file is in,
a lot of programs use a default encoding such as ISO-8859-1 when
opening a file.
