A spurious capital A followed by a diacritic means that your content is 
in UTF-8, but it's being displayed by software that doesn't realise it 
is in UTF-8 (it probably thinks it is in Latin-1). If the display 
software is a web browser, this means there's something wrong with the 
magic incantations in the HTML Content-Type, the HTTP headers, the web 
server configuration files, or some combination of the above.
