Are you using Safari?

Even if not, your browser is ignoring the encoding tag. Change the encoding to ISO-8859-1 or ISO-Latin-1 or ISO Windows or whatever your browser calls it...

no it doesn't. the page does NOT have the encoding tag. so this is a matter of different defaults. safari, ff, and chrome have utf8 as the default. I guess IE has Western or smth

Firefox, same problem on that page, changing encoding solves it.
