Problem with meta declaration!

[Baxtex]

When i'm making a new HTML document i Notepad++, i pick the format "Code in UTF-8 without bom" and i use the meta:<meta http-equiv="content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">And then i save it. It works great, i can use all the letters i want, for example ÅÄÖ. But when i turn of my computer, then start it again and starts codeing again, it looks fine, everything seems to be working. But if i add ÅÄÖ they just become question marks. Even though it worked last time i worked with it.Do anyone have any idea how to make ÅÄÖ work, even after i have restarted my computer? And yes i can assure you i have saved the document.

Well, I've had to experiment a little bit with this myself, being Icelandic. I have a suggestion that I want you to try:Start by changing the default encoding of all files which Notepad++ creates into UTF-8.Settings -> NewDocument/Default Directory -> Encoding -> UTF-8 without BOMNow, if you have a document which is encoded in another encoding, let's say ANSI, and you want to use UTF-8 because that's the default for the files you create and the most suitable for Swedish and other non-English languages, do this:In the menustrip, you find the toolstrip "Encoding". Instead of selecting "Encode in UTF-8 without BOM" you have to select "Convert to UTF-8 BOM". You can only use the piror option when you're starting the document but if you're changing the encoding (of an already-created document) you must use the latter option.I hope this helped, if not then I'm sorry for the random nonsense.

It worked great! Thanks!BTW the code format to the CSS document, that dosen't matter wich it is, right?

The format (character encoding) I always use is UTF-8, for pretty much all files. I recommend you begin your CSS files with the following, optional, declaration:

@charset "UTF-8";
