How to develop Russian pages

Question

I am developing a multilanguage website but I have a big problem with Russian language. I need to create a php page with an html form to save data into a mysql db. I'm writing this code with Notepad++ and when I paste russian word into my code I display "???" instead of my russian word:

e.g. I should have

 ...
    Type of Transaction:
    <select name="typetranscation">
      <option value="Аренда">Аренда</option>
      <option value="Продажа">Продажа</option>
    </select><br><br>
   ...

But, in fact, I have:

Type of Transaction:
        <select name="typetransaction">
          <option value="?????">?????</option>
          <option value="?????">?????</option>
        </select><br><br>

What Can I do to fix it? Thanks!
