doctype character encoding utf-8 validation problems

Hello,

Ive searched the archives and don't see a solution,
Im trying to  design a page from scratch that makes
the validator happy, cant get past the doctype skeleton,
getting multiple errors.

The code works correctly in the direct input mode,
appears to be exactly what the documentation requests,
yet fails the URI validation test in multiple hosting environments.

One of the hosting environments is a shared hosting
product from hostigation.com, the other is a freebsd
pc on a static ip running apache, my sysadmin says
'we don't have a universal doctype defined'.

the URI of my test page on the freebsd system is

http://lakeview.odd.net/jaytest/index.php

the code in it is the same code cut and pasted from
your documentation,  but it wont URI validate.  Can you
give me an example of header code which will URI validate?

thanks in advance,
Jay
