Displaying accented characters in a webview

[zxxdaro]

I am using a webview to display languages other than English.
Currently I am simply using a string like "<html><body> Text in here </body></html>"
I am finding that characters that carry accents (diacritics) are not displaying properly.
What do I need to do to get these to display properly?

This code works correctly:
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Dim wv As WebView
wv.Initialize("")
Activity.AddView(wv, 0, 0, 300dip, 300dip)
wv.LoadHtml("<html><body>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ</body></html>")

End Sub
