.net - How can I prevent strange characters when pulling the atom feed from a wordpress 3.0 blog -

-

i have atom feed on wordpress blog here: http://blogs.legalview.info/auto-accidents/feed/atom

when download text of file , display on site, strange charactes accented 'a' here:

recent studies showing car accident -related fatalities have declined 10% since 2008. reason

i using following code in c# web application download feed:

        webclient client = new webclient();         client.headers.add(@"accept-language: en-us,en                                      accept-charset: utf-8");         string xml_text = client.downloadstring(_atom_url);

and xml_text.contains("Â") returns true, if download feed in browser no such  exists. i'm pretty sure character set issue, can't figure out why. examining client.responseheaders, can see in fact downloading text in utf-8, , response on .net site utf-8 well, can't figure out why weirdness appears

i ...fatalities when force browser interpret feed iso-8859-1 instead of utf-8 (which correct character set feed.)

i'm pretty sure either webclient somehow defaults iso-8859-1, or output encoding on site iso-8859-1, garbles utf-8 input.

maybe start checking site's output first. if utf-8, take @ webclient.
