    Perhaps it has something to do with the encoding of your text file. If I have trouble with encodings, I try and create files in either eclipse or OpenOffice, where I am able to specify the encoding. If you are on a mac, you can also use TextEdit, or (even better) Bean.

    edit: I use utf8 encoding.
