my transaltion in my new extension fails to translate when it includes the "å" charachter

I have made a new extension.

In that extension I have created a translation folder, and a sub-folder for the correct language.

I can get a translation for an object in my new translation file, so the setup works. But if I add an "å" in the translation section it will not translate. Ie I get the original word.

But if I use an existing translation from ezwebin which contains "å" - it works like a charm.

I have tried with different headings in my translation.ts file, its more or less a variation of these:

<!DOCTYPE TS><TS>

and

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE TS>

<TS version="2.0">

But I still can't show any translated "å" my frontend.

I have no idea about what's going on..... since I can translate, and I can show "å" from an existing .ts file, I don't understand why my translation with "å" fails to show....

Thanks!!

That solved it, I didn't realise the need to make the file UTF-8 as well....

I obviously missed that information, so maybe the need to put the file format in UTF-8 as well should be made more visible?

If it is clearly stated, then I shall rightfully shut up:)

Anyways - I greatly appreciate the help!
