UTF8_unicode_ci works in Mamp Pro, but not in live server

Question

Dear Toasters,

I have a development site in mamp pro (xampp) where utf8 works perfectly. I am trying to setup the site at ******.nl, where uft8 is setup (utf8_unicode_ci) but the € sign is not showing correctly. I have altered, changed database from and to utf8_unicode_ci and tried other versions as well, sadly it did not work for me.  Is there anything I am missing here? cache was emptied etc, etc.

If i force the browser to see the site as utf8_unicode_ci then it works, naturally, but somehow the encoding does not load?

please help, it would be very much appreciated!
