That's why 2 characters are displayed, but I dont think my browser is the problem, but I tried it and

My test-file's source looks like this

<html>
 <head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF8">
 </head>
 <body>
  Tüüäüst
 </body>
</html>

which gets displayed 

<html>
 <head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF8">
 </head>
 <body>
  Tü���st
 </body>
</html>

which is not the same as before, but still not the correct. I still think my problem could be solved somewhere on the server/scripts/components but I'm to mixed up of that charset-stuff -.-

thanks anyway!
