It looks like it has been character encoded wrongly. Any ideas?
What character encoding are you using? Changing the character encoding of a database is a nightmare. I'd suggest making sure you're using UTF-8. If you're not, and your site is in english - you may want to collate the database to UTF-8. IF you do this though, it will not affect any content already in the database. I hope this helps!
