Howdy,

Because you are mixing pdflatex and xelatex. Don't use the lmodern package (I believe fontspec defaults to the otf version of latin modern if you don't specify a main/roman font) and certainly don't use the fontenc package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
«A»
\end{document}

Finally, make sure you are saving the file as UTF-8.

Good Luck,
