Worksforme as well.  View menu says it's UTF-8, and all the non-ASCII
bits show up fine.  Reporter, can you please attach a screenshot of what
you see?

Server is sending the correct mime type. Possibly the user does not have
international/symbol fonts installed that are needed for the page?

For me personally, in different browsers totally different. Well, firefox as you can see the screenshot incorrectly displays.

According to people in the article, these problems are mainly in Windows, support for displaying Unicode-characters is not complete.

I don't read Russian but the roughly translated article via Google
translate seems to have some errors.

It seems to suggest that Firefox does not use curly apostrophes which is
false. If you search the document for flat quotes the first such
instance is "A Christmas Carol" and if you search for the curly quotes
the characters are correctly matched.

Alignment issues are going to be limitations of the monospace fonts on
the OS. If a character is not found in a monospace font and is found in
a proportional font browsers will use the proportional font thus
breaking the alignment.

All the issues in the page I see look to be from monospaced fonts for my
OS (Win7) failing to have the glyphs required by the document.
