On our new server, special characters aren't rendered properly:
[img] 
[/img]
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 .html
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...

ah, thanks
like I said the same HTML rendered correctly on a different server...
I always use...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
I've capitulated and used & pound; 🙁
as it goes, your character renders a bit oddly on this website too Simon. 😀
