Check for an #encoding directive at the top of your template. For example,
index.html.tmpl in the Standard template uses:
#errorCatcher Echo
##
## Specifying an encoding of UTF-8 is usually safe:
#encoding UTF-8
##
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
## This choice should match the #encoding directive above
<meta charset="UTF-8">
