Content-Types and Charsets

[JavaHead Jonnie]

My website is primerally in English so I use:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

For one of my Meta-Tags, however I need certain words to be in Spanish but the page becomes HTML 4.01 Transitional invalid or the character doesn't show if I use a character like 'í'. Is there any way to solve this?

Thanks & Regards, Jonnie

Use Unicode
ì
&#_236; decimal
&#x_00EC; hex
&_igrave; entity - (remove the underscore)
