Do you have w3m set up correctly? I mean the program, rather than the
Emacs mode. I remember that when I switched to utf-8 I had some problems
like this because I had previously set w3m up for latin-1.  You can test
this by visiting some page with problem characters using the w3m program
from a terminal.
