We ran into a problem with the default meta content-type (UTF-8) defined in both the website and administration layout templates. It doesn't display smart text (66/99/trademark symbols etc) natively - which is expected. Instead it displays some random escape characters in their place.

We fixed this by updating the content-type to the Western European ISO 8859-1, which works well with all kinds of smart text typically dropped into a listing from Word, for example.

Here is the updated definition, to replace the UTF-8 declaration in the website and administration layout.tpl:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Hope this helps
