Strange danish letters bug.

Hello,
I have a web site and i use some danish text on some of the page.
The letters appear as expected when i view the site with the VS 2005 built
in web server.
When i deploy the site either by XCOPY or as precompiled on win 2k3 IIS 6,
then i loose my danish chars.
can someone tell me how i can best deal with this problem.
many thanks in advance

Are you including charset="UTF-8" in your html headers? Might be the
browser not interpreting the encoding correctly, so if you set it
explicitly it could work (alternatively, ISO-88591 should also be a
suitable encoding for Danish).

Hi Tobes, that is an interesting detail. Can you give an example of where i
need to write this?
I'm using a master page.
Thanks

I tried the following :
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-88591"/>
</head>
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
</head>
non of them seems to help
