Encoding issues

Hello, I just switched from coldfusion 9 beta to the final release of coldfusion 9. Everything went fine,except that all accented characters of my pages (like á/é) are showing like a "?". I tried to change the encoding of my page, tried to add the cfcontent tag and tried the cfprocessingdirective tag, but nothing worked. What could be wrong? I'm using coldfusion 9 for linux 64 bit and my character encoding is UTF-8

    well something changed. what does the java file encoding (system summary in

    cfadmin) say? what does "defaultCharset" say in neo-runtime.xml (should be in

    the cf installl lib dir, "/opt/coldfusion9/lib" on my ubuntu box). any chance i

    can see the offending pages?

    ? marks indicate encoding failure, your data is garbaged. what was the encoding

    prior to the upgrade? are you sure it's the same (obviously not, something's

    changed).

    My encoding was (and still is) utf-8.  It's pretty weird... the only thing that I made was uninstall the beta and install the final release.
