OK, take Chapter 10, which should be the heading you posted in the first post. This is what it says in utf-8 (and the file correctly states it's utf-8 encoded):

Code:

<p id="toc_marker-1-1-10" class="term">KARMA AND SAÒSKÄRA</p>
<p class="chapter-subtitle">Action and Its Imprint</p>
<p class="devan">éº<span>@</span><span> </span>–Ä—éŸ¿</p>

Which does not match the intended text, it should be something like:

Code:

<p id="toc_marker-1-1-10" class="term">KARMA AND SAṀSKĀRA</p>
<p class="chapter-subtitle">Action and Its Imprint</p>
<p class="devan">कर्म संस्कार<p>

Whether or not it shows fine for you depends on the available fonts for your browser, but the code is utf-8. A not particularly pretty font, but with a wide Unicode coverage is code2000. Or, using numerical entities (remove spaces between & and #):

Code:

<p id="toc_marker-1-1-10" class="term">KARMA AND SA& #7744;SK& #256;RA</p>
<p class="chapter-subtitle">Action and Its Imprint</p>
<p class="devan">& #2325;& #2352;& #2381;& #2350; & #2360;& #2306;& #2360;& #2381;& #2325;& #2366;& #2352;<p>

(According to Wikipedia, it's SAṂSKĀRA instead of SAṀSKĀRA, but that probably depends on the transliteration convention.)

Now, if you want more font choice, search for Unicode Devanagari fonts, like these.
