Wget is completely incapable of mangling characters, as it doesn't do
any sort of conversion on content whatsoever.

I do see <U+200e> characters in vim... probably vim doesn't know what to
do with those character codes. Viewing the result in a web browser gives
identical results for me as visiting the site directly (apart from some
coloring, probably from a CSS file that couldn't be found, and that
issue's resolved by adding -k).
