 * Do you use also a localized version of WP? Is the localization’s encoding the
   same as the settings in the blog’s Options > Reading?
    I can see that on your
   blog you use iso-8859-1 but WP’s default is utf-8. So, if you are using a localization
   file that has iso-8859-1, but your blog’s setting is utf-8… the accented characters
   won’t display correctly.

 * I’m using a pc on my local network with wordpress install on it.
    my blog is 
   encoding utf-8 and all my post are ok, but when I change the title in the code
   with dreamweaver it’s not not ok I have special caracter. I try to put iso-8859-
   1 but it’s getting worst

 * OK. I got it.
    1. Do not use DW. 2. When editing the template files and typing/
   writing something in another language you have to do it with an editor that has
   utf-8 support! (I don’t use DW, so I don’t know if you can set it like that, 
   but the best thing is to use a simple text editor with utf-8 support.)

 * Textpad is listed among the good text editors:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Text_editor](http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Text_editor)
   If it is only a few words in the sidebar – you could try the Theme Editor from
   the Presentation panel.
