Comment:

 I have the same problem with 2.6.

 It's easy to reproduce too:

 * Create new post.
 * Use the "visual" editor.
 * End your first sentence with a period (.) followed by two spaces.
 * Begin and end another sentence.

 If your character encoding on your browser is set to Unicode (UTF-8) you
 will see the two spaces after the period, but if you change it to Western
 (ISO-8859-1) you will see the funny A character (Â).

 The funny A character makes it into the 'post_content' variable and into
 the DB; I have a custom plug-in I use to notify customers of new posts and
 the funny A gets sent out in those messages too.

 Note: if you re-save your post, the funny A character goes away in your
 published post.
