If it helps, I wrote a small function to replace the 'bad' characters with the correct ones: http://ashleysheridan.co.uk/coding/php/Remove_Rubbish_Microsoft_Markup It can also remove the extra meta info stuff that seems to get thrown in when you copy large amounts of text into a rich-text editor, as this often breaks the display of content in non-MS browsers, although that is a little experimental at the moment, as I've not really had the time to test it exhaustively.
