Thats for you don't have support for Chinese characters on your system or you
display it with the wrong character setup (iso instead of utf).

Those validation faults are minor in this case
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinyin.info%2Ftools%2Fconverter%2Fchars2uninumbers.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
The page render well when it comes to the Chinese characters under Linux:
SeaMonkey 1.1.7
Opera 9.20
Trouble with none Chinese characters (́, ̌) under Linux:
Konqueror 3.5.7
MSIE 6.0.2800.1106
In Konqueror I get two boxes above Taibei and in MSIE I only get "'<i" instead
of Taibei.
All the browsers has the same access to all fonts, but may have different
default fonts. I would guess that MSIE6 has some trouble with UTF-8 and/or NCRs.
