Looks like double UTF-8 encoding from looking at the page source,
the page is transfered with UTF-8 content settings just fine but
the non-ASCII characters are taking 4 bytes in the page source,
not the expected 2. So at some point latin1->utf8 encoding
seems to have been applied to something that was already utf8
encoded in the first place

This has been fixed.
