Special characters are displayed differently

I'm new at this, so endulge my ignorance:
I try to display the ë character, but all I get back is either &235; or ë even when I use ë or ë or ë in the code.
What am I doing wrong?

Then usually the reply was obvious or too short ;)
In this case imho: both :)

Ë ë are defined in ISO Latin-1.
Did you switch to another set?
what happens if you try this?

Code: Select all
