The problem appears to be that the RSS feed has been encoded in UTF-8,
while the PmWiki page itself is in ISO-8859-1.

The only ways I know to resolve this problem would be to either convert
the PmWiki site to use UTF-8 (which has its own set of issues), or to
get the (:RSS:) markup to be able to handle UTF-8 conversions.
