They don't appear in IE. "?" characters are on diamond shaped black background and overwrite characters underneath making it difficult to read the text.

A diamond indicates a problem with the font or the content of a web page. You get a diamond if the page uses an 8 bit encoding and the character can't be mapped. A possible cause is that the text was copied from another (Unicode) source and pasted on that website. IE probably shows a white box or nothing in such a case. It is also possible that the page is send with the wrong encoding by the server.

Can you post a link to a page where you see that?

Ok, it looks like it is trying to deal with accented characters in spanish. They however appear correctly in IE
