Fix incorrectly displayed encoding on an html document with php

Is there a way to fix the characters that display improperly after running this html markup through phpquery::newDocument? There are slated double quotes around -Classics with modern Woman- in the original document that end up displaying improperly after creating the new doc with phpquery.

    //Original document is UTF-8 encoded
$raw_html = '<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /></head><body><p>Mr. Smith of Bangkok celebrated the “Classics with modern Woman”.</p></body></html>';
print($raw_html);

$aNew_document = phpQuery::newDocument($raw_html);
print($aNew_document);

Original Output: Mr. Smith of Bangkok celebrated the “Classics with modern Woman”.

New Document Output: Mr. Smith of Bangkok celebrated the �Classics with modern Woman.

Solution
    1. You need to save the page with UTF-8 without BOM encoding.

    2. Add this header on top of your script:

      header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");

    [EDIT]: How to Save Files as UTF-8 without BOM :

    On OP request, here's how you can do on Windows:

    1. Download Notepad++. It is an awesome text-editor that you should be using.
    2. Install it.
    3. open the PHP script in Notepad++ that contains this code. The page where you are doing all the coding. Yes, that file on your computer.
    4. In Notepad++, from the Encoding menu at the top, select "Convert to UTF-8 without BOM".
    5. Save the file.
    6. Upload to your webserver by FTP or whatever you use.
    7. Now, run that script.
