It seems that your symbol is interpreted as an ISO8859-1 code (Latin 1)
rather than an "ISO8859-7" code (Greek).

It might help, if your DTML contains a line
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type',
                               'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-7')">

This should tell the browser, that the document is
ISO-8859-1 encoded.
