I am coding a site, whose main language is Portuguese, which has a lot of 'unusual' chars, like `, ´,开发者_JAVA技巧 ~, and ç.

I if don't use the & directive of HTML, the words appear all messed up on the browser. So I can write a á (e.g) whenever I need to, but that's very troublesome, since the Portuguese language is full of 'unusual' chars, as I mentioned.

I suppose there is a way around this. Which one?

Btw, I have added this to the top of all the pages of the website, but it didn't make any difference.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Use a meta tag in your <head>:

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

Set your editor to save in a known encoding (UTF-8 unless you have a good reason to use something else)
Specify that encoding in your HTTP Headers
Make sure the encoding doesn't get changed by any program code or database storage along the way.
Do not use an XML prolog (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>), it triggers Quirks mode in IE6
