This is because you are pasting something that is most likely ISO encoded
directly into a UTF-8-based site. If you ask on the i18n list, I'm sure
people can help you.
The "problem" here is that you're transfering existing Zope objects (which
are not unicode/utf8) into Plone (which is).
You will need a conversion process to make this work.

As a "quick fix", you could set the site encoding to ISO, but this might
have unintended consequences down the road. In any case, this is not a
setup question, try http://plone.org/support#i18n :)
