Character encoding using lang()

He just told that could be the charset.

I had the same problem before and what I did is to only use text in my language files. For example, in my view I used something like:

Code:

View:
<strong><php echo lang('my.lang'); ?&gt;</strong>

Lang:
$lang['my.lang'] = 'Hello';

I think its a better practice too.
