Lesson learned: validate!
Because the W3C validator catches missing encoding declarations (which are misnamed charset declarations).

Of course, I feel bound to make some criticism of a layout which has list bullets wrapped in font tags.

<UL> is hardly a difficult concept.

I always love your blog, but I found this confusing: "U+2022 U+003c (•<) which for me was being read as 0x95 0x3c was for her being converted to "?" " Once I realized that the U+2022 is 0x95 in Windows-1252 then it was clear that for *both* of you the bytes you were seeing were 0x95 0x3c. So you were both trying to interpret 0x95 0x3c in your respective double byte encodings (e.g. 0x95 is a lead byte and 0x3c is not a valid trail byte in either, therefore the question mark).
To say that you have U+2022 U+003c in the page is incorrect since it is really a matter of guessing. It is also misleading to use the Unicode way of expressing those characters because no Unicode encoding is involved AT ALL until the browser's internal representation of the page. Those are the intended characters, yes, but I'm just trying to explain why I found your explanation confusing.
