That indicates an encoding issue. Sigil assumes utf8 (utf8/16 are the only valid character encodings for epub). When you get those little black question marks, it means the file you added wasn't utf-8--and Sigil is displaying it with the assumption that it is.

Note that adding the utf-8 declaration to a file does not actually MAKE it a utf-8 file.

You're likely dealing with some special characters in a cp-1252 encoded file.
