I've had some luck frobbing this variable to match the character set
encoding of the web page I'm pasting from (using Firefox):

,----[ C-h v selection-coding-system RET ]
| selection-coding-system's value is iso-latin-1
|
| Documentation:
| Coding system for communicating with other X clients.
| When sending or receiving text via cut_buffer, selection, and clipboard,
| the text is encoded or decoded by this coding system.
| The default value is `compound-text-with-extensions'.
