Opera seems to be handling Cyrillic just fine.

As a test, I shall share the song boy wrote and frequently sings. Since he doesn't know Russian, it doesn't make much sense. Well, it makes sense in that he's silly.

кошка, селёдка, я хочу мороженое
ты смешная
где мой людоед?
ты... ты меня... ты меня любишь.

It's displaying just fine for me (in Explorer in OS X). I could test it out in Netscape, too, as well as in OS 9 (which, actually, is what I usually use - I rarely use OS X, but you happened to catch me on the day that I did).

I was really curious as to what it said, so I made my boy come in here to translate. He said that it didn't make much sense. ;) I said that that was why I wanted to know what it said. He understood some of it and read that off for me. Then, I realized that there was something way too funny about having someone who speaks broken Russian partially translating nonsensical Russian for me. ;P

Speaking of which, he had a couple of classes in Russian at the Academy (which is how he got his basic Russian skills). Is that where you learned Russian? I brought that up, so he's wondering if you might have had the same teacher (in different years, though).

Yep. Ms. Hobar, in my time. She's now Mrs. Rogers, though I would call her Mrs. X, as she was just starting to date Mr. Rogers now and wouldn't reveal his name to us for fear we'd hunt him down and torment him. So she called him Mr. X. ;)

I then majored in Russian/Area Studies (a joint Int'l Service/Language/Lit/History degree program) at The American University in DC.

A translation:
cat, herring, i like ice cream
you're silly (ridiculous)
where's my ogre?
you... you (me)... you love me.

-Yes, that is the same teacher that he had for Russian! How funny...

-Oh, cool! I had no idea that you had studied so much Russian. (Actually, I had no idea that you had studied any Russian until you posted about your problems with the characters displaying properly.)

-*lol* That's just... great. ;P

Also, here's the "verdict." I have tried viewing this entry in both Explorer 5.1 and Netscape 7.0, in both OS X and OS 9. In both browsers, it worked fine in OS X; in both browsers, I just got a string of ?s in OS 9.
