Hello,
I have an accent problem with all the websites I build in french with WB2.8.1, the last release.
My problem is when I do a search on Google with my primary keyword 'creation de site loire' my website web-studio-creation.fr has his content title with exotic letters instead of 'é' for example. Just below, in the search results, the description tag contains the good content with the accents ! In the db these 2 fields are described with the same intercalssement latin1_swedish_ci and my admin section is set to UTF-8.
Then when you click on my link to go to my website, all the accents appear well in the title bar. So strange !
It works like Google has indexed the pages with no encoding. I've tested in Yahoo and Bing and the results show fine.
An idea for this ?
Regards

Hello,

the page claims to be UTF-8-coded, but some content (header and body) is latin1-coded instead.

This is an excerpt of yours webpage ( http://www.web-studio-creation.fr/creation-site-internet/creation-site-internet-vitrine.php ).
All the readable accents are UTF8-coded, but all those � are latin1!
Code:

Hello Thorn,
I've just went a little further and checked a few things. First, Google has not yet reindexed the modified pages.
I've put the HTML value for all the accents in the head section. But my breadcrumb (generated with SHOW_MENU2) shows not the accents in the cache of this page.
For example :
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:9gH5jad__1IJ:www.web-studio-creation.fr/services-internet/contenu-redactionnel-web.php+r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rencement+positionnement+manuel+google+loire&cd=4&hl=fr&ct=clnk&gl=fr .
I've noticed the same thing fot the searchtags module (see the word visibilité instead of visibilité).

I've also checked a website I've build with WB 27 and my head section is well-described (in Latin with the é ...) and the UTF-8 declared in the head section too. And there's no problem showing.
See this page in cache :
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:bHYK2M0JXF4J:www.boucherie-traiteur-le-scorpion.fr/traiteur-a-emporter/entrees-froides.php+http://www.boucherie-traiteur-le-scorpion.fr/traiteur-a-emporter/entrees-chaudes.php&cd=3&hl=fr&ct=clnk&gl=fr

An idea for all of this ?
