Strange characters on all pages (over 1000 pages) after 1.6 upgrade!

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

OK - I believe this is it! 

Here are the modules I think have been affected:
BlankOfTheMonth
Calendar
CGUserDirectory
FrontEndUsers
News
SelfRegistration


And here are the characters that are, as kurtf put it, 'sprinkled' throughout the entire site.  I tried to find what they correspond to - I wasn't sure what one was... I think it's a space, but not sure.

’ = '
“ = "

… = ...
– = -
‘ = '
ø = ø
ô = ô
é = é
ü = ü
Å“ = é

Again - thank you so much for help in this.  It's much appreciated.

Hi Kenton,
Any chance you had a chance to work up that script?  If not, that's totally fine - I appreciate the offer.  If you aren't able to, would you be able to direct me as to how to modify it?  Thanks again for your help. :)

I just used this on my site and it worked perfectly! THANKS FOR SAVING ME HOURS OF WORK!   :)
I am relatively new to php and mysql so I was stuck as how to create a script to change this for me. (i have 300+ pages)
I modified the file to only change the main content_props; this was the only area affected by the upgrade.

;D
