Thanks for reporting the problem!
Could you please share the URL of an RSS feed where you see the wrong characters?

Mercury encodes these special characters using HTML entities.

For example:

A t�bb felhaszn�l�t is igen kellemetlen�l �rint&#xFFFD

As you can see, the code is the same for all the characters, i.e. �
According to this website that code maps into the question mark sign that we are seeing.

I will try to report this to the developers of Mercury but I can't guarantee anything :)
