I basically took the html file that someone made and made a new MVC application and put it in the view, but now I am having problems with apostrophes and other characters similar to "he’s a cat".
I compare the opening of the source html file on disk in a browser and the launch of the MVC application which is in my local IIS. The same browser.
The HTML in the section <head>is the same in both cases when viewing the source:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<title>Cats</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.min.css">
</head>
I am at a loss. Any ideas?
Edit: in firefox, go to View> Encoding shows that both pages are in UTF-8.
