Weird characters in comment metadata

I've been fetching metadata using the amazon, goodreads, and a couple of other providers, and everything works great except sometimes the comments have weird characters:

"Abdülmecid, has heard a rumor that Bellini’s vanished masterpiece, a portrait of Mehmet the Conqueror, may have resurfaced in Venice. Yashim, our eunuch detective, is promptly asked to investigate, but—aware that the sultan’s advisers..."

I'm certainly not an expert on this kind of stuff, but looks like it's an issue with encodings. Is this something I can fix by just picking a different font? Or is this a glitch in one of the metadata provider scripts?
