Why isn't Firefox displaying a character right, but Chrome is?

When I used NotePad++ to write 1 character from the ascii insertion panel, value 131, hex 83 "ƒ" (I did this as a 1 character file n saved it as 1letter.txt n 1letter.htm, it displayed as 198, hex C6 "Æ" (sans the ""), but not just Æ

There's a comma where an apostrophe would normally be

It's too ƒricking weird

Why isn't it displaying value 131, hex 83 "ƒ"?

Hi, as Notepad++ sticks formatting code into things it is possible that is the reason. Firefox does not do UTF8 but not sure as to doing ascii just know that it does stick formatting in to the page.

There is an Encoding menu under the Format menu somewhere. Could you check in the lower right corner of Notepad++ what character encoding is being used for your documents. Some encodings, particularly UTF-16 encodings,

Best I can do at the moment as do not use notepad++
