title: iOS UIWebView not rendering foreign languages correctly
body: <p>I have a UIWebView in which I display a HTML file with foreign language content (in this case French), which was translated by Google.</p>
  
  <p>The original English text is:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Clear - used to stop all timers and clear the amounts shown to the far
    right of the view.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The translation from Google is this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Effacer - permet d'arrêter toutes les minuteries et effacer les
    montants indiqués à l'extrême droite de la vue.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This is what's displayed in the iPhone Simulator when French is the localized language:
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HSPdW.png" alt="rendering of French translation in UIWebView"></p>
  
  <p>This is the code I am using to load it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>//  determine what the language for this locale is...
  NSString *sysLangCode = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
  
  //  contatenate the language code to the filename
  NSURL *indexURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"instRST-%@", sysLangCode]
                  withExtension:@"html"];
  
  //  load it...
  [webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:indexURL]];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have looked in Google, SO and UIWebView to find any settings that would make this render correctly.  The font being used is Verdana.</p>
  
  <p>What do I have to do to get this to render correctly?</p>
