How to force browser to use UTF-8?

Question

I am having a hard time making an "Í" work! It just keeps appearing me a "É" and I can't figure out why. Curiusly enough, it only happens with capital I, when it is a "í", everything works just fine.

What I have tried so far:

Specify the codification on the head

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Another way on the head

 <meta charset="UTF-8">

with .php

<?php
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
?>

.htaccess

AddCharset UTF-8 .html

Another way on the .htaccess

AddDefaultCharset Off

Manualy replace the "Í" for the element

&Iacute;

Nothing changes and it keeps appearing as "É" instead. Any suggestions?

Thanks

What's the other side of the equation…? Are you actually ***serving*** UTF-8 encoded text?! Are you using a ***font*** which contains the correct glyph? — deceze, Nov 14 '16 at 11:40
Yup, that was the problem! Actually, from browser to browser the font-family was changing, and the alternative one doesn't have the glyphs! Thanks — DONSTEPHZ, Nov 14 '16 at 15:34

That's hardly "forcing the browser to use __UTF-8__"… – deceze Nov 14 '16 at 11:41
