  In short, you're asking what the difference between "\303\251", "é", 
and "‚" are.

  The first is an octal sequence embedded in a string (it happens to be the 
same as utf-8 'é'). The second is also utf-8 'é'. These two are the same 
string ("\303\251" == "é"). The last, '‚' is the html-escaped notation 
for a 'é' (I'm trusting your email for the correct number here). That is, 
literally "‚" != "é", but they should render the same to a browser 
capable of displaying utf-8.
