Diameter and Degree Symbols

[3RRL]

I used to be able to add a diameter and degree symbol in my posts.
Now I get this when I add a degree symbol after a temperature: ï½°
and this for the diameter sign: ﾘ
Here are the ones for:
cent: ï½¢
1/4: ï½¼
1/2: ï½½
3/4: ï½¾
and the plus or minus sign for tolerances: ï½±

I noticed Jinman's post had them like this also:

Why has this changed now?
Thanks

60?ｰ 75?ｰ 6?ｲ
It looked fine on my screen until I did a preview and then it screwed up.
60ｰ 75ｰ 6ｲ deleted the extra characters out of these 3. did another preview and it put them back in.

I got the same thing when I tried to type in the pound sterling symbol.

Found that you could post it and then go back and edit it and get rid of the extra characters.

Yes I already tried a number of tings like that and it didn't work for me anymore.
Hazmat was hoping Muhammad would check it out.

OK... weirdness. I posted and got the funny symbols. I edited and they went away... hmmm.... I did the same thing both times ALT+0176 = °

And that time it worked. Now I can't get it to mess up again! If you get the messed up characters, edit it and try it again. Not sure what the deal is, but I can't get it to not look right!

Still thinking on this one... wanted to try something else to see what happened... ｰF

Ah hah!!!! So when I do this in the "advanced" post screen I get this: ï½°

But when I edit or post in the "quick" post screen I get °
