I had been wondering what the little superscript '3' meant :)
Now how do you pronounce this this?

    Just like it's spelled. With difficulty.

    Vladimir with a Russian accent?

  This means that you are using the ISO-8859-1 charset (aka. ISO-Latin-1),
which is the most common charset.
  If you are going to use characters with values >127, you'll better use
the Latin-1 charset or just transliterate to ASCII, or else most people in
the world will see the wrong characters (as happened in this case). You just
can't assume that everyone in the world uses the same charset as you
(you can more or less assume this for the Latin-1 charset, even though not
*everyone* uses it, but most people by default).

  (Of course this depends a lot where you are. In Japan the most common
charsets are Shift JIS and EUC JP.)

  In webpages the situation is better because you can tell the charset to
use in the headers of the page (and then it's only up to the viewer to have
the proper browser support and font to view it).
