Weird symbols and email subject lines

This is a test post. I just tried to quote a post with one of those boxes in and got this error:

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Incorrect string value: '\xBF/quot...' for column 'post_text' at row 1 [1366]

If this post doesn't work then it was nothing to do with the box.

I think the email PM notifications are still showing weird subject lines.

I fixed the issue on the program, but if you see weird characters on any given email subject, the original poster, needs to update the actual thread name.

Well, that worked. Trying a quote with boxes in.

I fixed what caused the issue, but the characters that were swaped won't be recovered.

Does it happens on a brand new message?
