Could be a number of issues.

First try disabling all plugins/products via the config.php file edit and test on a default style.

If it works, then there is a conflict with a plugin or product. If it doesn't there is something wrong some where else.

There is another section on vbulletin.com at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270014

no one else there has any solutions.

any advice would be most greatly appreciated.

I will check back after my next set of tests

Most likely, the database charset/collation that is set does not support that symbol properly.

any idea how I would tackle that..... you are saying that it is a server side modification that needs to be made and not changes within vbulletin?
