As for the wget output, your console might not be UTF-8-compliant, or you
might not have declared the proper character encoding for the HTTP resource
and the resource type (e. g., HTML) requires you to escape them then, which
you also failed to do.

This and

suggests that the Content-Type header field of the HTTP response for your
Web site has the wrong value. And I think that is a FAQ.
