Regex expression works well when testing but not in my page

This Regex below works well for all currencies when testing on a Regex test page.

Although when in my page, it just works for the $ currency.

I changed the MetaTag for different caracter sets, no luck.

What could be wrong? 

if (preg_match_all('([£€$¥]([ 0-9]([ 0-9,])*)(\.\d{2})?|([0-9]([0-9,]))(\.\d{2})?([pcm]|bn| [mb]illion))', $tout, $matches))

I want to extract any amount following (with ou without a space) any of the 4 Currencies signs.

The expression you are using is valid and seems to match the output as expected. That is, if the file is saved as UTF-8.

If the input is in different encoding, it will not work. Also, if the input indeed is UTF-8 but the source if is not, the regex would seem to fail as it would try to match different characters (the non UTF-8 encoding equivalents).
