Getting ’ encoding errors with NRECO Html to Pdf
The meta command is wrong. It should be either
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
or
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
(with no http-equiv).
Note, however, that using a meta command for the charset is no guarantee that the desired charset is indeed used. The actual http header may override this setting with a charset of its own.
Also, with regards to your comment that it's rendered correctly, note that web browsers may use a different algorithm to determine the encoding than the dll. Correcting the meta command may or may not help.
