My best guess (and that's all it really is - I just figured I'd have a
go at this) is that the character set is not correct for what you're
trying to do. The '?' is often used when the character set does not
support a character that is being displayed. I know that the character
set can be changed using a meta tag in simple html.

I hope that helps somewhat.
