This is what I sometimes see in the top left corner of an LG web page:

My browser is Firefox 21.0 under Linux Mint Debian. Under Edit->preferences->Content->Fonts & colors->Advanced, the check box for "allow pages to choose their own fonts" is checked. Perhaps this has something to do with the Chinese font. I could try to provide more info if you wish.

Removing "height: 77px" from the outer div element would have fixed the overflowing issue.

Here's another display error, although the error might be on my part. I have this Linux app called Gnome Character Map, which is based on Unicode character database 6.1. I wanted to spell the word Uber with a Diaeresis, that's two dots, over the U. So I copied and pasted it into my post. But instead of getting Uber with two dots, I got Ãber. It looked correct when I typed it out. What am I doing wrong?

OK, it happened to me too. I believe this is
not your fault but rather a defect in LG's code
(their HTML or their server-side code or both).
Somewhere along the line the UTF-8 encoding for
U-with-diaeresis (C3 9C) is being interpreted as
two single-byte characters from the Latin-1
supplement rather than as a single UTF-8 encoded
character.
A lot of HTML forms (e.g, the one for message input
on this LG page) don't specify accept-charset="utf-8"
in the form tag, relying on browsers to default to
the same encoding the page is in. I think it's good
practice to specify the coding explicitly in the
form tag-- but I can't say whether the absence of
accept-charset is the culprit here.
