    1. Is only in Dreamweaver Design View that you see the weird characters? 
    2. Have you tried in a browser?

     

     


    I think we're spinning our wheels here.  The OP is not understanding anything we've said.

    This is usually the behavior when your system has a corrupted font on it. Have you recently added any new fonts to your system? If so, I would start there and remove those fonts and see if things return to normal.

    Use a more suitable doctype and the universal character set like this:

     

    <!doctype html>
    <html lang="fr">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Document Title</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

     

    Nobody uses ISO Latin text on web pages anymore.

    Which encoded meta charset is your document using?  It should be near the top of your code, under the <title> tag.

    UTF-8 is supported by most languages and causes the least problems. 

     

    Problems ensue when you mix encoding types like UTF-8 with ISO-Latin entities.

     

    Also validate code and fix any reported errors.
