Weird characters output

Hi all, I have recently moved a site over to a new server. Now certain characters are being replaced by weird characters. EG: the ' single quote is being replaced by a question mark and other characters are also affected. the information that contains these characters is inside a mysql database. The webserver is Apache and it is running on a linux, I have googled and found that it is an Apache PHP issue but have yet to come up with a solution. If anyone knows whats causing the problem and could help that would be great. thanks in advance.
