Need some help. Can you go to https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2023/07/13/worldly-yet-carefree/ and see if any weird special characters appear? Starts from the ~4th paragraph for me. Supposed to be a config thing that's been fixed, but I'm still seeing it, and it might be ISP level caching issue.

😩 it can’t be ISP caching issue if so many people are still seeing this

Hmm could be a different thing… I initially tried to edit and save but gave up so I may have overwritten the posts with the most-encoded versions in the edit window. I’m not seeing this in posts I didn’t touch

This looks very likely. The page source shows odd characters, so it looks like the server compiling the HTML has either been reconfigured (e.g. some update, including the OS settings), or the text itself was saved with weirdness (e.g. copy/paste from some new editor/sync? New browser?)
