That would be an "ø".  I think it's related to your locale/font
configuration, and not browser version.  It works fine for me (Firefox
1.0r1), but I also use iso8859-1 for my native language support.

I think the real problem is that neither the webserver nor the
document sets the character set.  It should be iso8859-1 and not
utf-8, as can be seen from the directory name (en_US.ISO8859-1).

I guess the right solution is to insert the proper metatag in the
headers to force iso8859-1.
