special characters in html instead od utf 8 encoding
Question
I have designed a html page where code look like following
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body style="margin:0;">
<div id="alignment" align="center">
<table id="border" bgcolor="#e5e5e5" border="0" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0" width="726">
<tr>
<td style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FFF;background:#080808;" align="left">hi–boss</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
but in output I get hi boss instead of hi- boss.
Can any one say , what I miss here.
Many thanks in advance

Your document is in fact not UTF-8 encoded but probably windows-1252. You will see this if you manually use the View menu of your browser and there set the encoding to windows-1252 (it may appear under the name “West European” (Windows) for example).
Therefore, either save it as UTF-8 encoded in your authoring software or change “UTF-8” to “windows-1252”.
Further complications are possible if the server sends an HTTP header that declares character encoding.

I'm sure you copied the - from a non-utf8 charset. You have to specify this in you meta-tags, use '-' (the one on your keyboard), or if you use php eg call utf8_encode("text") .
