That's clearly a problem with the encoding (the fact that a single character shows as a series of wrong ones means that a multi-byte encoding is being rendered as a 8-bit encoding). Either something's wrong with the file or FBreader is not doing the right thing.

Maybe FBreader defaults to an 8-bit encoding, and has no problem with HTML files where the encoding is explicit in the header, but with text files with no indication, it doesn't guess or guesses wrong. CoolReader probably has a different default or guesses right.
