Strange Characters

The company that I upload my stories to has just changed their server and the new server doesn't handle non-ASCI letters. I've had to go back and edit all my stories to add the correct HTML code for è and ö and á for example. But I have some text that for some reason I can't edit. This is a section from my story as it appears when opened from their website:

Geena: "Did I surprise you this morning?"

Me:Â "You sure did!"

I didn't want to ask her how she found out as I didn't want to admit it was true.

Geena:Â "U wanna know how I found out?"

Me:Â "I'm not admitting anything, but yes."

This is the code and as you can see there's no code that corresponds with the Â

Geena: "Did I surprise you this morning?"

Me: "You sure did!"

I didn't want to ask her how she found out as I didn't want to admit it was true.

Geena: "U wanna know how I found out?"

Any idea what's going on her?

Thanks

Check to see if you can add the UTF-8 meta tag to your pages. It may save some time.

Your page probably contains the byte sequence (C2A0), which is UTF-8 encoding of the "no-break space" character (U+00A0)

In ISO 8859-1 the byte sequence (C2A0) is an Â character (U+00C2) followed by a "no-break space" character (U+00A0).

Okay. I did what Jon said and there is nothing in that space other than a dot (I presume that just indicates a space).

I did what servitor suggested and the Â is still there. Strange but in another story with texts I don't have this problem as I used a different font in parenthesis. That may or may not have any bearing on the issue.

I also had issue with special characters not displaying correctly (à and é and ö etc.). I was told by a friend that it was due to the new server. UTF-8 doesn't render non-ASCI characters because of bit sizes used for the alphabet. Does that make sense

If I open the story in my browser (Safari) and go to Develop>Page Source then the Â is visible in the code. That means the server is adding that as it's not visible in DW. Not sure what that means though.

Also if you notice, on the first line of the quoted text (Geena: "Did I surprise you this morning?" ) there is no Â.
