This is a classic sign of character encoding problems--the DB looks  
like it's in unicode, but for some reason you're seeing it in some  
lesser encoding.  Does your browser have a setting to switch  
character encodings?  If so, try flipping to UTF-8 and see what happens.

The next step after that is to make Typo and your browser communicate  
correctly.  Which web server are you using?
