MS Word document shows question mark symbol � on GitHub

Question

I am hosting an HTML file, created using MS Word, on GitHub. For some reason, when I open the site, it shows question mark symbols in place of other symbols. You can look at it yourself.

I have no background in anything related to this (no web programming or MS Word) so I am confused. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Thanks!

Edit: Here's the repository.

Just for confirmation, can't see it properly on a Mac either — Tetsujin, Apr 06 '18 at 16:37

That symbol means that it doesn't exist in particular text coding (e. g. Unicode).

Change the text coding for that page in your browser.

Instead of that, how can I directly fix the html file so that it displays correctly on all browsers? – Gurpreet Singh Matharoo Apr 14 '18 at 11:25
