Sounds like your problem is with the web server.

What hex value is being stored/transmitted for that eacute?
What charset does the server say the page is in?
What transfer-encoding does it say is being used?
What charset is the page actually in?
Is there a charset meta tag in the page?
What do you mean by "displays incorrectly"?
