[TYPO3-english] Problems with high-ASCII in front end only...

I have a site in development where editors copy and paste content from 
various sources. Although we can strip away the formatting, this content 
often contains high-ASCII, i.e. characters such as single left quotes 
and single right quotes, m-dashes and n-dashes, etc.

These all behave perfectly in the back-end - whether pasted directly 
into a field (e.g. Header) or into the RTE. But in the front-end they 
render as small boxes containing the hexadecimal ASCII code. (The source 
code contains these characters too, so it doesn't appear to be a browser 
issue.)

Any idea how we can resolve this?

Thanks,

Bob
