CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi, I´m using CMSms v1.2.4 (greenland) and the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor to add content to my pages, and stumbled on a problem with special characters I can't seem to fix.
If I put special characters in the content of my page it shows the special characters (see example1) but when I take a look at my back-end example it doesn't work (example2) same goes for the front end...
when the special characters button didn't work I also tried to add the characters using the folowing codes without the WYSIWYG editor mode, but still without succes

the config.php says its using utf-8
de the meta of the page says its using utf-8
(what I could find on the forum, this should make no problem of special characters)

I tried to search the forum about this problem, I can find a few problems with special characters and I tried the solutions but sadly without any succes. I think I am missing something but I can't find out what it is. Help is much apreciated

It works on mine, by turning off the WYSIWYG and entering the codes.

Is your browser Character Encoding set properly to Unicode (UTF-8) when browsing your page?

thanks that did it my browser encoding wasn´t set correctly.
But that brings me with another probably even bigger problem. I asked a few of my friend if they could see the characters, but they can´t their browsers are all set to windows european (ISO). it wouldn't be very user friendly if I have to put up a message telling everyone to switch to utf-8 ?

how can I make these characters work for everybody ? or what is at least the best solution for my site ? If i put the character set tot iso-8859-1 ?

The browser should be picking up the Character Encoding from the metadata for your site. Can you post a link?

I put the three characters near the bottom, if you need more information just ask. and thanks for the help

in the last few days I tried a few things but still I don´t have any solution.
the metadata is correct but still no special characters

Is there anyone who can help ?
