What's wrong is that the document is claiming to be encoded in UTF-8 (either
by saying encoding="utf8" in the XML declaration, or by saying nothing), and
it is lying - it is actually in some other encoding, perhaps iso8859-1 or
cp1252.

If the document was hand-edited, and if you're located in North America or
Western Europe, then there's a very good chance that the encoding is
iso8859-1, so change the XML declaration to say so. Alternatively, look for
non-ASCII characters, and replace them by numeric character references.
