Problem displaying characters "é"

Hi,
I have a text file with a list of countrys,
I am displaying a list of it, where the user can select one.

But I have a problem with the "é" characters.

E.g.   Brésil

is displayed Br?sil


My HTML document has the following declaration :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
...

It works on this page. So do View -> Source & you'll see what makes it work:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
