You should probably replace the special characters with their  
corresponding HTML codes - this will make sure they are displayed  
properly in any standards compliant browser.  For example, an o with  
an umlaut (two dots) is encoded as ö

A partial list of these codes can be found online at the URL below.   
If there are some you can't find, or if you need more help with this,  
let me know.
