It looks equally bad for me (in firefox).

I can ask the people maintaining this webserver. I think the nginx only
acts as a reverse-proxy for an apache or possibly roxen server behind
it.

Other html files under https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse carries both a 

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

and a

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
        content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

inside <head>...</head>, which is supposed to override whatever the
actual http headers say. And that seems to work.

But nettle.html is generated with makeinfo and looks slightly different.
The nettle.texinfo file includes

  @documentencoding UTF-8

and the generated nettle.html carries a 

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

but it seems that isn't enough. Any clues appreciated.

Regards,
/Niels
