Bad UTF-8 without BOM encoding
I converted all my files to UTF-8 without BOM encoding using Notepad++. I have no problem with BOMs anymore but the UTF without BOM encoding is simply not working, it's as if my site was encoded in ANSI. All special characters di开发者_高级运维splay either as: Â, Ú or á.
What can be the reason for this and how can I fix it?

You have to tell the browser to accept it as UTF-8 so it will properly parse multibyte characters. Add this meta tag in your <head>
tag with the rest of your metas:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
Update
For HTML5, use this tag instead:
<meta charset="utf-8">
you will need to tell your web server to tell the client that now everything is utf-8...
There are 2 options to do this:
HTTP header this is a setting of the web server itself
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Meta tags this is something you could put into your html files header
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
see http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset.en.php?changelang=en
you can check your site for problems regarding charset and other things here
The HTML code doesn't contain any encoding, so the browser probably interprets it as ISO-LATIN, not UTF-8. Check out Setting the HTTP charset parameter at the W3 consortium.
Send a header informing the browser what character set a document is encoded in:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
