I can only guess, since your cut-and-paste content contained only
mangled UTF-8 characters, but...

I suspect that your problem is that the page is encoded in some random
8-bit character set and is interpreted as UTF-8 -- or vice-versa.

Try going to the 'view' menu, select 'encoding' and select
'Windows-1252'; if that doesn't help try forcing 'utf-8' the same way.

Then you might consider complaining to the originating site that they
are serving <insert encoding here> but labeling it as something else.


Oh, and if you had included the URL to the page I could have given the
exact details instead of guesswork. ;)

Regards,
        Daniel
