Probably, the meta tags are not telling the browser to use an appropriate encoding.

oh sorry, forgot to include the solution.
In the settings section, there must be a settings that allows you to choose the encoding set. Check if that works.

When you sign up on x10, you need to confirm that the content of your site will only be in english or 2 other languages(french and something else) or if its in another language, a complete english translation will be provided.

Ask in x10 forums if its okay. Else, your site will be terminated.
