You can directly edit the book only if it is in AZW3 or EPUB format. calibr has a builtin editor (shortcut key is "T") that can do the job.

I would guess that no encoding was set and calibre assumed it was the default UTF-8 when it was something else. It should be enough to specify the right encoding in a meta tag. But Search & Replace should work as well.
