OK, first, did you EMBED the accented characters, or did you let
Dreamweaver do the RIGHT thing and use HTML entities?

If you embedded the high-bit-set characters, or used the ALT+number
method of entering an accented character... I'm all for having you
flogged, because that creates a real mess. But it's easily fixed. Just
tell Dreamweaver to convert the characters to HTML entities and resave
the file. And, then, never, EVER directly enter accented characters
again.

Nonsense, unicode in web pages is just fine, has been for ages. If anything,
you just want to declare the right encoding in your headers.
