Comment(by whlitwa):

 Update:

 I was able to fix the copyright symbol by updating function the_content()
 in
 /wp-includes/post-template.php

 For some reason, utf8 encoded copyright symbols like to translate to
 ©  (©)
 Knowing this, I was able to simply delete the utf8 Â.

 {{{
 #lines 164-169:
 function the_content($more_link_text = null, $stripteaser = 0) {
         $content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser);
         $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
         $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
         $content = str_replace(mb_convert_encoding('Â', 'UTF-8',
 'HTML-ENTITIES'),'',$content); //added this line
         echo $content;
 }
 }}}



 Obviously not the best place to fix this bug, but might some kind of
 backwards utf8 decoding need to take place after the image is uploaded?
