It's probably a font related issue. IIRC, if none of the fonts specified in the font-family property contain the glyphs for those characters, IE won't find and display them. You may be able to improve the situation by including the following:

font-family: "Arial Unicode MS", "Lucida Sans Unicode", sans-serif;

Here's an article I found that discusses this issue.
