convert Microsoft charset files to unicode, or at least to acceptable HTML.

Well ’ is an XML entity for a character that is not a unicode
character (which is why it is displaying as a box), so your source
XML is broken. The correct XML entity for right single quotation
mark is ’ or ’. Additionally, if your data is in utf-8,
then you don't need to write unicode characters as xml entities, they
can be represented directly in the file.
(Hint: 146 is the cp1252 (aka Windows) code for right single quote.
Either your data source is not really utf-8, or it has been
incorrectly converted.)
