There is probably conflict of encodings. Note that encoding is often duplicated
in <meta ... /> tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
...
Check that you have UTF-8 there too. Finally, check that your non-ASCII
characters
are indead encoded in UTF-8.
