I have an external program for my wiki that grabs

shows up before it. Im sure that this is just the way that it is
store in the database, or an unicode issue, but how does mediawiki
pull it with out this?
You can see the problem here: (may be broken in IE)

This is because they're in UTF-8. If you convert from UTF-8 to iso-8869
you'll get the right symbols. Seems you hit some special cases where the
second character matches the ascii one.
Would it be another character, like á you would find á but that á and Ã
are both As is just by luck.
