  1. The server is not sending the charset in the Content-Type header and the HTML meta fallback is broken:

    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″>
    

    Note the invalid curly quotes instead of straight quotes.

    That means there’s no valid declaration for what encoding the page is in and hence the browser takes a guess. Some guess wrong.

    See UTF-8 all the way through.
