Thanks Nathan,
i tried with utf8_encode, that doesn't help. Yes both content-type & metatag are set to utf-8.
When i try utf-8 converted csv everything shows up properly. Issue is when i try to change encoding in php, special characters are messed up.
Character that i am facing problem with is
’ ’ ’ right single quotation mark
Thanks,
Sudhir

1: try utf8_encode instead of iconv
2: check the headers being sent and that they include:
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"
as this normally overwrites and choice you make in html.
a good way of debugging this is to view the page in firefox and see menu
option "View -> Charecter Encoding -> xxxx"; the one presently selected
is generally the pages "real" encoding, and you can flick between
iso-8859-1 / utf-8 to see which one "fixes" your problem (then change
headers accordingly).
