Character display issue in IE

I have this characters in DB [â??]. This gets rendered as [�??] in Mozilla but IE does not render this and shows a blank screen.
I am using AJAX for this, and response is in XML. IE gives JavaScript error while parsing this XML.
What could be the reason for this?

Character set issue most likely. Make sure everything is encoded in UTF-8 throughout. (I hate these kinds of issues -- and I get them a lot with international characters.)
