I took a look at what your server is returning using a tool named curl.

$ curl --head http://planet.codepixel.com/

What this is saying is that you are running Apache, and Apache is 
configured to tell the browser that this page is coded in ISO-8859-1 
(look at the last line), and the browser is following that advice.

There is nothing wrong with the blogs, there is something wrong with how 
Apache is configured on your site.  To fix this, you will need to follow 
the advice specified here:

   http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset#server

I hope this helps.
