NoWiz' post looks normal to me (no odd symbols), so I suspect this is something in your settings (on device or browser) that is using a different character set and can't recognize the quotes. Perhaps someone with more technical expertise than I can suggest ways to solve it.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

I saw on odd character in the index page for Voronwe's user name (he was the most recent poster on a board) and just now in the 'who's online' interface
When I clicked on the past, his name was displayed correctly.

Ahem... I just had to do that.  
I'm betting it has to do with the internet browser(s) you and squire are using. The issue with News from Bree is that WordPress and the board software don't always speak to each other very well,particularly when translating things like quotation marks, umlauts over letters, etc. If an umlaut, or other non-standard mark-up, is cut an pasted into a user name or post, the boards usually handle it okay, but if it's translated from a WordPress news story to the boards it's definitely not okay. I think the same thin is happening in reverse with some browsers - for example the translation from the boards to Chrome, or whatever browser you're using, may not work right.
TORn hasn't changed, so the reason this may have just appeared is the browser software went through an update. A similar thing happened several years ago with Internet Explorer. The Advanced Editor used to work in both Firefox and Advanced Editor, but IE went through an update that left the code to be able to use Advanced Editor in the dust. There may be options to tell your browser to accept or translate certain problem text if you want to take the time to figure that out. Othewise, you can 1) alert them of the problem, or 2) hope it goes away with the next update.
