Unicode settings

I have a form and some people type a special letter e (the one with the dash on top of it) like the one you would use to type `fiance` for instance. Which encodding set do I need to use on my web page so that those characters came out the way they typed them so I don't come up with a weird looking character on the page?

Thanks
