Do you identify the charset as UTF-8 in the HTTP headers or in a
<meta> element in the head of your HTML?

Without any indication of the character set, your browser is probably
assuming ISO 8859-1, and the encoding of character number 176 is
different in ISO 8859-1 and in UTF-8.  For starters, it takes two
bytes in UTF-8.

You should be able to set the encoding used for the page from the
browser's menus just to test if that is the problem.
