title: Why is IE failing to show UTF-8 encoded text?
body: <p>I have a some Chinese characters that I'm trying to display on a Kentico-powered website.  This text is copy/pasted into Kenticos FCK editor, and is then saved and appears on the site.  In Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, the characters appear exactly as expected.  In IE 8 Standards mode, I see only boxes.</p>
  
  <p>The text is UTF-8 encoded, and as far as I can tell, it is encoded correctly in the response from the server.  There is a <code>Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8</code> response header, and a <code>&lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt;</code> meta tag on the page too.  When I download the HTML from the server and compare the bytes of the characters in question to the original UTF-8 text document, the bytes all match, except the HTML does not include a BOM.</p>
  
  <p>This seems to be specific to IE 8 in Standards mode.  In IE 8 Quriks: it works.  IE 7 Standards: it works.  IE 7 Quirks: Works.  I'm not sure how standards mode would cause this problem.</p>
  
  <p>Strangely, if I view-source from IE, the characters show up in the source view correctly.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on what might be wrong here?  Am I missing something obvious?</p>
