anyone know what magic runes are required to fix it ?

oh and the identical HTML rendered correctly from the old server, so it must be something in the headers...

It's a character encoding problem - your server is saying it's unicode. Either rework your html to unicode or change the AddCharset/AddDefaultCharset setting in Apache config.
You could try something like this in your .htaccess file:
AddCharset iso-8859-1 .shtml .htmlPosted 1 year ago # -
or declare the character set in the HTML template you use. That would have the same effect.
Actually, I think declaring it in the HTML template is better practice but I'm prepared to be shot down in flames over that...
