A point that i think is importanto to say is. The page which i just have <? echo "joão"; ?> without using smarty works fine in any browser, the trouble is when the page is compiled by smarty.

The only difference is that I have the ISO in small letters and the tag terminator like this: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> I can display João, Mão, Mãe, õ, and everything else (todos os acentos e caracteres portugueses) So, I think that the problem is not in the code because I only use the meta and never use the header...
