Anybody else had this problem? I'm sure it's hack related but I can't figure out which one it's from.

Example below, top is before the edit, bottom is after.

Check the HTML Characterset for your language (AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Edit Settings)

I'm using ISO-8859-1.

Same as another board I have and that board doesn't have the problem. :( They are on completely seperate servers though. Could it be a server configuration issue?

It could be many things, varying from the characterset used in the database, MySQL versus MySQLi, instaled PHP modules like mbstring/iconv. Very hard to tell from a screenshot.

I just checked and the characterset of the database is the same. And this problem only came up a few months ago, so it has to be hack related. I guess I can just disable them all and re-enable one at a time to narrow it down. I thought it was because of the post edit history hack since it started around that time but I removed it and still no change. I'll get it figured out though.
