You may have an issue with the encoding between the original document and the Kindle. You may need to figure out the original encoding (there are lots of different ones), then use a tool to convert the input file (html or txt) to UTF-8, then convert that document.

Dealing with different encodings is a royal pain.
Well, its a royal pain on Kindle. I tested other (smaller) e-Readers and they support other languages perfectly. I dunno why Amazon state the Kindle is and international unit. International means not only be able to download books being in other country but also be able to read a book in other language.
The easiest way is just to convert to PDF but again PDF support is horrible on Kindle, even on DX latest edition..
