Weird charset problem

I try to display the Euro sign in html output. I got following setting in the html

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv=&quote;Content-Type&quote; CONTENT=&quote;text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15&quote;>
According to the PHP and other manuals this should contain the euro sign but it just displays ?. When I use ISO-8859-1 it displays the Eurosign although it actually should not but the Html Validator spits out a warning.

Any idea's?

What is the U+nnnn value of the Euro sign that's throwing an error? In ISO Latin 9 it is U+20AC. BTW, try encoding in unicode.

why not use the &euro; entity mark?
