chrome cannot display special characters é though it shows correctly in text editor

i have a html file which has special character 'Démonstration'. when i can checked the file in text editor, it shows correctly, but when i open the html file in chrome, it becomes 'Demonstration'. I've set the charset to 'UTF-8' as shown below:

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

why it still wont' work?

Alsow tried in Firefox and Safari, it won't show up correctly. is it something wrong with the file?

If you're using windows, you can hit the run command and type "charmap". And then copy the special character you want. The character é is under the Haettenschweiler font. Then paste it in your markup. Tested in Chrome.

Try replacing the é with &#233;

You can view the html codes for special characters here http://www.starr.net/is/type/htmlcodes.html
