Im having a problem with spanish special characters (ñ,á,é,í,ó,ú)... Im getting the exact opposite outcome of what I expect.. When I set my view file encoding to be UTF-8 I get weird characters but if I set my view file to be ansi encoded it shows fine on my browser.... should utf handle these characters and ansi NOT handle them??... this is getting tricky please help/

OK, make sure you have:
1, Save file in UTF-8
2, <meta> tag is set to UTF-8
If you are retieving data from DB, make sure, you:
1, Set DB encoding to UTF-8
2, Set table encoding to UTF-8
3, Set field encoding to UTF-8
4, Set connection encoding to UTF-8
When you are doing some operations with string (substr ...) make sur, that you are using mb_functions and you set it to UTF-8.
I think, it helps.
