French Characters Corrupted on Form Submit

French Characters Corrupted on Form Submit

Hi All,

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Would it be possible for someone to please help me out.

I have a guestbook in jquery mobile that also needs to be in french.
upon form submit of any of these french characters:
"áàäãâùæçéèêëîïôœùûü«»ÜÛÙŒÔÏÎËÊÈÉÇÆÄÂÀ"

it automatically replaces the entry with these characters:
âùæçéèêëîïôÅ�ùûü«»Ã�Ã

Pages are encoded in UTF-8.

For test purposes, try pasting: "áàäãâùæç" in the last text field and hit submit.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks sooo much! It's been driving me crazy.

Brian
