Page title not changed when edited

Atahualpa v3.4.9 shows page titles with funny characters after reimported database (transferred hosting providers).

I tried editing the page title but it did not fix what was shown on the site (but the page edit screen did). I even tried changing the page URL but that didn’t fix things either.

I switched to the WP default theme and it showed the correct page title.

I had a look in the SQL database and saw some revisions of the page had the title with the funny characters, so I deleted those characters from the title and save the database entries. Still didn’t fix things.

A bit more background: I had a page titled Travel followed by some fancy font symbols of airplanes, etc. I exported that database from my old hosting provider and imported it to my new one, setup wordpress, and all is working fine except this. As I said earlier, default WP shows the proper page title, where as I get this, for example, under Atahualpa:
Travel ↔ ↕ ↔
