Old pound signs have a capital A circonflexe before them but new ones don't

By "Old pound signs" do you mean previously posted signs?

They are in the database that way, it would be a lot of work to go back and edit all the rubbish characters out of past posts, sorry. :-[

Looking better now Leah, thank you.     New posts and those made before the upgrades are now showing up fine to me, which suggests everything is now set properly.  (Posts made during the period of mismatched character encoding will continue to show up oddly, but as you say, far too much work involved to edit them all.)
