Well I still use MediaWiki 1.17.3 and it turns out it doesn't have many
problems. It has no problem displaying special characters.
The problem may be with your browser. It is probably not Unicode compliant.
Without Unicode, special characters would turn into things like boxes,
question marks, weird symbols, or other things.
Or you should upgrade to 1.19. It's the latest version of MediaWiki,
released in May 2012.

Is there a reason why you're using such an old MediaWiki? I don't know
for sure, but I imagine this particular problem may be fixed by an upgrade.
PHP: 5.2.17 (cgi)
MySQL: 5.0.90-log
It looks like you can run 1.19. I've been doing some upgrades from MW
1.11 for a client and they work pretty well. I encourage you to upgrade.
Mark.
