new problem rendering the character é

[proyouth]

I’m noticing a new problem on my website.

The word "cliché" used to render correctly. It still does for pages I uploaded a long time ago. But for pages I uploaded recently, when viewed with Firefox, the é is replaced with a question mark. (IE renders it correctly.) Example: first sentence of this page: http://www.proyouthpages.com/littlegirl.html

I will add that Firefox renders the word correctly when viewing the same page on my hard drive. It’s only when taking the page from x10's server that it has this problem.

Can someone explain why this is happening? And what’s the easiest fix?

Firefox: top menu, View --> Character Encoding --> ????

Works fine if it is set to Western. Or Autodetect. Displays the ? if set to Unicode.

Will see if I can find a fix that doesn't require fiddling with browser settings.

Interesting. I also find that, when I set it to western, it both fixes the rendering on the website, but also screws up the rendering of the same character on this forum thread.
Any insights on why this is only happening on pages recently uploaded to the x10 server?

The visitors to your site could have their browser set for most anything...
I would use the HTML Entity (name) for that character - which would look like --> [ clichés ]
