Ah, the murky pit that is non-ASCII character encoding and rendering.

The characters that you see indicate that the font/character set it is
trying to display doesn't have those glyphs (i.e. characters) in it.
The fact that you can see them in the body means you are using a
different font that does have the correct glyphs.

Have a play with the Gnome Character Map program (i.e. "gucharmap") and
you can see that not all fonts have all the UTF-8 characters in them.
But I'm actually quite surprised that something can't render glyphs in
the E4 Latin section.
