使用codeigniter - 为什么欧洲字符没有正确显示？

Question

When I pass a string with special characters to my view, The special characters are shown as a question mark, eg:

$data['make']  = 'Quels pneus Dunlop avez-vous acheté ?';

$this->load->view("form", $data);

---

This looks as follows in my view:

When I type the characters directly into the HTML page they show fine. how can I fix this issue?

EDIT: The charset is already set to:

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

Using codeigniters ascii_to_entities function did the trick.

$this->load->helper('text');
ascii_to_entities($string);
