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.

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.

yes but i dont know with fonts may be corrupted if this is the problem...

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.

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

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

Your reply makes no sense.

If it's easier for you to write in your native language, please do. We can use this forum's language translator.
