I just upgraded from version 1.2.2 to 1.2.4, and suddenly this started to occur
at my page as well. Norwegian characters, such as "æ", "ø" and "å" are showing
up as "�".
This did not happen in version 1.2.2. The feed is UTF-8, and all settings are
set to this in RSS2HTML as well.
I have been using 1.2.2 with CMSMS 1.6 for a long time, and it did work as
expected, even though the module manager reported that it was incompatible.

Downgrading to 1.2.2 (by manually editing the version check to allow it to be
installed) fixed the problem.

FIX! FIX! FIX!
Try to change in 
./modules/RSS2HTML/lib/magpierss/rss_fetch.inc

from
---
if ( !defined('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING') ) {
      define('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING', 'ISO-8859-1');
}
---

to
---
if ( !defined('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING') ) {
      define('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING', null);
}
---

It helps to me.
