Make sure that your source file is actually encoded in UTF-8.

Check that your browser is configured with UTF-8 Encoding.

Usually under View-> Encoding -> UTF-8

Configure the editor you are using to write the PHP to save in UTF-8.

The problem is because you are claiming the data is UTF-8 when it isn't.

Please be sure the php file you have created is in utf8 charset. Also check if utf8 encoding is supported/configured by your web server.

The default encoding emitted by a server doesn't matter when you are stating it explicitly in your code. – Quentin Feb 26 '13 at 11:08

You could also try:

echo htmlentities('Welcome to Loréal Website');
