To get the discussion back on track, this is not caused by themes, templates or locales.

The data is encoded with the original character set (probably Latin1), but by rendering it as UTF-8, it cannot be displayed properly. This means that a conversion from ISO-8859-1 (an educated guess) to UTF-8 will probably fix it.

The problem is that new data is now added as UTF-8. Which means that the conversion will corrupt the new data. A catch-22.
