Yes. The W3C site has quite a lot of these, too, even if they are fortunately usually limited to single characters such as the copyright sign. Here's an example: http://www.w3.org/2001/Annotea/User/Papers.html They are often the result of the download path and the upload path being different in terms of how they handle character encoding information.
