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:

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!
