When choosing the font on Google Fonts, make sure you tick the Latin Extended checkbox on the Customize tab so you get the url with the right subset, e.g.

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&amp;subset=latin-ext" rel="stylesheet">

or

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&subset=latin-ext');
