I had a similar issue once and found that in addition to the meta tags, I had to set the response header as well. I don't know what language you're using, but in Java, it is something like this: response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

Run your site through a validator and see if it catches any enconding issues, you might have enconding issues or your document might be saved as something other than UTF-8 (such as BOM UTF-8).

I've run into this issue in a very specific circumstance: when I copied/pasted text out of MS Word into Wordpress. I don't know what system you're using - but, what I found had to happen to fix it:

Let's say your sentence is "See Jane [WEIRD CHARACTER]Run."

I literally had to go in and delete "e R" in the middle of the sentence, then manually type that back in. Odd, I know. But there seemed to be an odd space character that just got stuck in there.

Those characters are utf-8 or more likely strays but your character encoding is iso-8859. You are showing both encodings in the head. Change it to utf-8 and/or remove those characters. I think those are strays, though.
