your page is just made totally wrong....
It looks like ou have a web page that is embedded into another one, or included.

As the first one is setup without encoding, the browser tries to guess it.
Then, when you hit the second page opening element, you specify that the charset is unicode, but the browser usually have already started rendering elements in another charset, and might not be able to switch it.

First thing, create a valid page, or at least, more valid that it is now:

If you are seeing strange characters show up it is possible that the file is corrupted or maybe there is a tag that is not closed in your code and different browsers display the mistake differently.

It's probably related to your encoding not being set. Use

Code:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
or the encoding that you find suitable. In firefox, you are able to change the encoding from View -> Character Encoding. The one that displays correctly, put it in your html file.
