That happens because the page isn't being displayed in UTF-8 encoding while your HTML source is encoded as such (but probably lacks the byte order mark that indicates UTF-8 encoding). Put either the HTML4 <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> or the HTML5 <meta charset="UTF-8"> inside the <head> element.

(The reason I know that specifically is the issue is that I just had the same issue, albeit with a Python script being opened in a text editor that doesn't auto-detect that the encoding is UTF-8 if the BOM or a file encoding directive isn't included.)
