Looking at your source Rob I see your blog's character set is set to utf-8, which should handle entities. When comparing files during my WP upgrade I noticed two extra lines in wp-config-sample.php—which weren't there in my older config.php file. I have <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/119998" rel="nofollow">read</a> that deleting these two lines (define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); and define('DB_COLLATE', '');) if you edited them in, or did an automatic upgrade, can resolve problems. Maybe try that if you see these lines in your config file? See the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php" rel="nofollow">Warning for those performing upgrades</a>. Also, at the phpMyAdmin login screen, is your language reported as English (utf-8)? No, this isn't the problem (for certain).
