The page doesn't specify the character encoding, so the server will use 
its default.  Maybe the encoding of the page doesn't match the default.  
Your browser will also try its default encoding, which also may not match.

My browser tries Windows-1252, which isn't correct.  None of the other 
encoding that I tried make a difference.

Oh, the domain name ends with ".tw" so maybe you should try an Asian 
encoding.  BAM!  That's it!  It's kanji!  Chinese Traditional (Big5).
