It might be that simple for those two programs. You would do the same thing you do for calibre, specify an encoding, by adding a line to the head area of your html page. If you view the source for this page you will see at the top of the code in the head section:
Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
This tells any browser what character encoding was used on this page.

If those programs can't tell the encoding they might be guessing ISO-8859-1, I bet if you added one of the following to the html head you might see normal viewing. View here for acceptable formats for this code depending on xml, html, html5 etc...

Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252" />

or

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

or

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
Disclaimer: The previous is advice is based on conjecture, I'm not a web developer and have never played one on TV.

Good Luck.
