I am just really curious --- what in the world are you actually trying to put in your posts that ends up looking like the diamond-with-a-question-mark character...???
This is the information I have on the resulting character:
Character: � U+FFFD
Name: REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
Annotations and Cross References
Notes:
used to replace an incoming character whose value is unknown or unrepresentable in Unicode
compare the use of U+001A <control> as a control character to indicate the substitute function
General Character Properties
Block: Specials
Unicode category: Symbol, Other
Various Useful Representations
UTF-8: 0xEF 0xBF 0xBD
UTF-16: 0xFFFD
C octal escaped UTF-8: \357\277\275
XML decimal entity: & # 65533;
( I put spaces in the last line on either side of the '#' to keep it from translating the character. )
It appears as if you are putting something in your posts that is not being translated properly.
Please tell me --- what in the world is it....???

I was in Hawaii for 3 years from 1985-1988. Good times!
I had spent a lot of time on Waikiki Beach while I was there.
I also loved to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

Some of my fondest memories vacationing with my parents there.
