I'm assuming that you're dynamically generating some HTML document. If
so, have you declared the "document encoding" in the HTML file to be
utf-8?
See:
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html
Do you have a small sample of the HTML file that's being generated? One
of us here may want to inspect it to make sure you really are generating
UTF-8 output. You may also want to show the Python code you've written to
generate the output.
Try to give us enough information so we can attempt to reproduce what
you're seeing.
Good luck!
