    Hi alchymyth – your first suggestion totally did the trick. Huge thanks for your help 🙂

    Well, I fixed the problem!

    In this instance, checking the template files and/or replacing the wp-admin and wp-include folders didn’t work…

    … but it appears that the original problem was caused by a failed plugin update. My first though was to disable ALL plugins, but this didn’t fix the problem. Which is when I turned to the forums.

    The problem was fixed when I re-updated all my plugins. This removed all the ???????> from every page – including the admin pages. I’m guessing that the problem was with the dodgy updated plugin squirting some malformed code somewhere, and was flushed-out by updating the plugin again.

    Thanks to everyone who offered help – I’m sure it will come in useful the next time I break a website… 😉

    Thanks for the help, but the problem’s still there…!

    Some updates:

    • I’ve applied the Twentyten theme
    • The question marks are still appearing on all pages, including the admin screens
    • I checked that the wp-config file and database both specified UTF8 encoding
    • I checked header.php to no avail (that would be in the theme’s folder, right? But the problem is happening across all themes).
    • I’m using Transmit for FTP

    Any other ideas? Thanks again for any help offered.

    Hi Brad – and thanks for your help.

    I don’t think I’ve used any special characters in the site, but I did wonder if it might be an encoding error from when I restored the backup via phpMyAdmin. It’s happening on every single page, including the admin page:

    Here’s a link to the work-in-progress site. Thanks for any help you can provide!
