What should you expect to see? Is that the text above you have in your document? — DeclanMcD, Jun 06 '15 at 10:14
@MatthieuLemoine can you tell me? what is txt editor encoding UTF8? — Angu, Jun 06 '15 at 10:16
@Angu What text editor did you use to create this html file ? If the file encoding is not set to UTF-8 you will have encoding error — MatthieuLemoine, Jun 06 '15 at 10:18
@Angu Save your file in UTF8 or use relevant HTML entities code: `Vignerons de père` etc... http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm — A. Wolff, Jun 06 '15 at 10:18
@Angu So encode server script in UTF8. If data comes from database, you have to set relevant encoding too. What IDE/text editor are you using? — A. Wolff, Jun 06 '15 at 10:22

It happens. It happened to me as well. what you should do is:1) open your file in notepad(.aspx or php or or html or whatever.) And save it, and specify UTF-8 from save-file-dialog-box. Problem will be solved

The correct encoding needs to be ensured across all stages of development and deployment including:

text editor or IDE (check what the default encoding is)
source control (check the right encoding is stored)
server (check the checkout has the right encoding on filesystem)
web server (check the web server is serving using the right encoding)
