The WordPress Upgrade Changed My Text
It seems that the upgrade to WordPress 2.2 modified many of my posts. I have found many instances where apostrophes (’), quotes (”), and spaces ( ) were changed to goblygook. It also seems that I’m not the only one. I’ve noticed other blogs’ legacy content with the same thing.
My main issue, it seems, is that my habit of using 2 spaces between sentences has resulted in a “” replacing on of the spaces. To correct this, will take quite a bit of time, as I see this in most all older posts. You can see the issue replacing the apostrophes on my post about WordPress 2.1.1 could be hacked.
You may want to check some of your older posts for similar effects on your site.

I’ve noticed this too. Very strange.
I had the same exact problem. It took quite a while to go through all my posts, fixing the errors that appeared. Let’s hope the next update won’t cause so many problems.
