Getting an extended-character for any control with an icon in jQuery Mobile

I've dealt with and fixed this problem for this app once before, but I don't recall exactly what fixed it. The only thing I remember doing is downloading fresh copies of jQuery, jQuery Mobile, etc; but I've done that again and it hasn't fixed the issue. This character, "Â" shows up for every control that would have an icon, like listviews with a ">", and the buttons seen here. The character is actually being added to the source of the page as jQM is modifying it (see the span contents): ``` <a data-icon="maps" id="maps-button" data-role="button" target="_blank" href="http://example.com/map/" data-corners="true" data-shadow="true" data-iconshadow="true" data-wrapperels="span" data-theme="a" class="ui-btn ui-shadow ui-btn-corner-all ui-btn-icon-left ui-btn-up-a"> <span class="ui-btn-inner ui-btn-corner-all"> <span class="ui-btn-text">Maps</span> <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-maps ui-icon-shadow">Â </span> </span> </a> ``` Any ideas?
