[personal profile] roadrunnertwice, you probably already recognize that, but juuust in case you don't: I'm pretty gosh-darned sure that's utf-8 being interpreted as ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1). Looking at my own Inbox, I see the same issue on non-ASCII characters such as em dashes (—).

Best guess is that there's something converting things into utf-8 which are already utf-8, and so characters end up double-encoded. Looking at it more closely, I see <br />s in my own comments where I put newlines, even though the comment had "Don't auto-format" checked, so maybe it's being run through the HTML cleaner twice?

Added: Following bug reports around, the utf-8 fixes itself under view=singleentry ("filter to this entry"), view=entrycomment, and view=unread for me as well, but the extra <br />s are still there, so those may be an unrelated issue.
