Check you page default encoding, seems like a valid 'utf8' character.

It's most likely an encoding problem. Data from you DBMS is injected into the HTML in an unsafe way. Please refer to this article on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa973813.aspx#anticross_sitescripting_topic4_four[^]. See Step 4: Encode output.

The function AntiXSS.HtmlEncode(String str) will do the encoding for you.
