On many occasions, when my browser (either Explorer or Chrome) on my Windows 7 Pro machine hit a UTF-8 page, what I get is garbage that looks like this one: http://24.media.tumblr.com/7865bc12fc4430c4e3678473761717cf/tumblr_mnrhvhGM5O1qfjuqlo1_500.jpg
(One may see the REAL thing here: http://www.hexagon.com/en/index.htm).
OK...What's wrong here?!
And mind you—this annoying issue affects also MS Outlook messages, so it seems I'm having a system-deep issue rather than browser or specific site fault...
Any help will be very much appreciated!

Thank you very much, Harreh! Tried both suggested, and peculiarly enough—some items look better, some are still same garbage...see http://25.media.tumblr.com/fc13c2daa73d2742162aa7d9d5e70b29/tumblr_mnrppwoxgD1qfjuqlo1_500.jpg (highlighted parts are still gibberish, titles look fine now...). Any further advice will be extremely nice of anyone!

Not likely; everything else is working just fine. But if I doubt it—what would you recommend me doing to verify this is not the cause (or exactly is)? – user228472 – 2013-06-02T15:52:26.177
Good point, you could be right. It sounds like a browser issue (assuming Outlook essentially displays messages via IE). Chrome and Firefox both have encoding settings (Under 'Content'). For IE 10, rightclick the page and select 'Encoding'. – Harry – 2013-06-02T16:22:32.807
Oh...I drilled THAT so many times...! Nothing helped. I practically tried ANY Encoding option, to no avail. The only thing that helps (and may hint on a solution I am not aware of) is to go into Explorer's Tools-->General-->Accessibility, and there—Ignore font styles specified on webpages. This, however, affects other display "things" (and has no effect on Chrome on same machine)... – user228472 – 2013-06-02T16:32:11.393
