(I hope this isn't too dumb a question)
When I go to this Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet
These 'special' phoenetic characters, such as 'ŋ' render correctly in
my browser. However, when I try to use characters such as 'ŋ' in my very own
website they render like this: 'Å‹'.
What I have tried so far: I found this code from the wikipedia source:
<span title="Representation in the International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">ŋ</span> but it still renders as 'Å‹'.
In fact in this very question it is rendering correctly, what method
should I use to correctly render characters like these?

A number of things need to be in place for this to work properly.
First of all your page needs to say which text encoding it is using. You need this at the top if you haven't already:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
The website user then needs to have a font installed which can display that character. You have no control over that, without getting into font embedding.
This - tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/ipachart.html - might be of help.
If you use the code in HTML it should render properly on the front end.
