[Solved] Weird char utf-8 encoding issue

Hello readers,
Despite my best efforts (I sware!) I can't get rid of this problem:
In dates accented chars are not being displayed in administration and site.
I allways have this: 28 f?vrier 2008 despite 28 février 2008.

- Database collate encoding is set on: utf8_unicode_ci
- In admin panel, global settings, these are the default Metas:
- French is defined as the language for the Front Page
- Date format is %d %B %Y
- and finally, the template used is Left simple navigation + 1 column as default with these doctype settings:
So, ladies and gentlemen, where am I wrong?
Those settings should work and CMS MS should display the accented chars?
Don't get it.  :-[

Hello,

please check all components' character encoding and tell us what they are : unix(?) encoding (locales...), database/db server/driver, PHP encoding settings, webserver encoding settings, browser settings and available fonts.

Hello,
You're absolutely right.
Forgot to mention about which server.
Topic is now closed for me.
Setting in config.php locale on utf-8 solved it.
