well, I faced this issue before. I fixed it by converting the types of encoding. first: does your text es from Data Base? or its inside your page like HTML tags?

if your text es from Database please use this:

System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
System.IO.StreamWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(stream, System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("WIndows-1252"));
writer.Write("**#your text from database#**");
writer.Flush();
stream.Position = 0;
System.IO.StreamReader xx = new System.IO.StreamReader(stream, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
string converted = xx.ReadToEnd();

and if your text inside your page:

just do save as and select UTF-8 encoding

thanks

Load the text file in a text editor that allows character encoding to be defined, change the character encoding to UTF-8 or unicode and save the file again.

This will pre-prend magic bytes to the file, like 0xFEFF and the browser will load it accordingly.

This is an excellent explanation: UTF-8 vs. Unicode
