I see two easy solutions:

1. Something like
  sed 's:iso-8859-1:UTF-8:'
 on each ocamldoc-generated html file

2. or create and use your own ocamldoc-generator as explained here:
    http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual029.html#toc112
In this generator, just set the character_encoding field something else
than the default which is
 "<meta content=3D\"text/html; charset=3D\"iso-8859-1\" http-equiv=3D\"Cont=
ent-Type\">\n"

Somehting like the following code should to the trick:
class my_doc_gen =3D
  object
    initializer
       character_encoding <-
       "<meta content=3D\"text/html; charset=3D\"UTF-8\" http-equiv=3D\"Con=
tent-Type\">\n"
  end

let my_generator =3D new my_doc_gen
let _ =3D Odoc_args.set_doc_generator (my_generator :> Odoc_args.doc_genera=
tor)

(code not tested)

Hope this helps,
