Help needed with UTF characters

During my coding for this one site i came into realization (no pun intended) that it does not show as i have intended:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

IE and firefox does not show utf-8 characters whereas chrome works well. . .

I can't quite find the reason behind this, someone(that is actually YOU -the reader-, teach me how to fish :D
