or just change the encoding of your text editor, if the content is hard-coded in the source of your script — Federkun, Nov 04 '16 at 19:13

UTF-8 supports all the characters found in ISO-8859-1... it's best to stick with UTF-8 as it supports the most amount of characters commonly used and will give you the least amount of problems.

This kind of answers tick me off. Maybe the specified encoding is *required*. Why giving not-asked-for advice? – Vanco Jun 08 '17 at 16:17
