it is important to check that the character encoding of the page is properly declared in the <head> tag of your HTML page. For example:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
and also read this
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml
A Strictly Conforming XHTML Document is an XML document that requires only the facilities described as mandatory in this specification. Such a document must meet all of the following criteria:
It must conform to the constraints expressed in one of the three DTDs found in DTDs and in Appendix B.
The root element of the document must be html.
The root element of the document must contain an xmlns declaration for the XHTML namespace [XMLNS]. The namespace for XHTML is defined to be http://www.w3.org/1999/xht
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1
There must be a DOCTYPE declaration in the document prior to the root element. The public identifier included in the DOCTYPE declaration must reference one of the three DTDs found in DTDs using the respective Formal Public Identifier. The system identifier may be changed to reflect local system conventions.
According to HTML standards, each HTML document requires a document type declaration. The "DOCTYPE" begins the HTML document and tells a validator which version of HTML to use in checking the document's syntax.
If standard HTML does not meet your needs but you still wish to gain the benefits of HTML validation, u can use custom DTD.
This declares the document to be XHTML 1.0 Transitional. XHTML 1.0 Transitional is an XML version of HTML 4 Transitional.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtm
UTF-8 (8-bit UCS/Unicode Transformation Format) is a variable-length character encoding for Unicode. It is able to represent any character in the Unicode standard, yet is backwards compatible with ASCII. For these reasons, it is steadily becoming the preferred encoding for e-mail, web pages,[1][2] and other places where characters are stored or streamed.
And it has to be defined in <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
