My first thougt was that you do not send the correct headers for utf-8. But using header reader at web-sniffer shows that the headers are correct.

The broblems seems to be that you have converted the text into utf-8 twice.

That is, the 2 non-ASCII characters in the word l'école have been converted into 5 bytes, and those 5 bytes have then been converted again into 12 bytes.
