I can't precisely answer this, but I'll give you some guesses: I'll
guess that the browser is using one encoding and you have gvim/vim using
a different, incompatible encoding. I'm not sure how to determine what
encoding your browser is using, but the encoding for vim can be checked with

set enc
set fenc

If you can live with utf-8, try using that.
