Hmm I don't know. I tried it on phpfiddle, and jsfiddle and it worked:

I tried Both ISO and UTF-8 and they both showed up fine in phpfiddle. I had to try it there because my laptop broke down so I don't have a computer so I can't effectively troubleshoot anything

What browser did you try it on. i accidently just tried it on IE with the fiddle you gave and it worked. Then i realized i wasnt in Chrome which is what i mainly use during my projects. So I tried verifying if it works in Chrome with the fiddle and all i get is a square box in place of the picture. Is there a reason why chrome doesn't display unicode or am I missing something?

Just checked with Firefox and that works. Looks like it is only Chrome that is not working. Still can't figure out why it's not displaying properly.

Just happened to find this:

5 years old and still an issue. Still in active mode. This is ridiculous.
