characters and foreign languages are converting to ???s...again...sometimes

Description

DEV
SmartSite@UCDavis - 2.7.2-a5 - Sakai 2.7.1 - Server "ucddev1"
grbk2
gradebook2 GB2 v1.5.0-b3 on smartsite-dev.rsmart.com

problem initially was grbk-851, which I thought was fixed as testing on no category and weighted category with the same characters that previously failed HAD been working...until today.
both firefox and ie8

image 5-16-11_CHE118C_A14-A15 is what the correct characters look like...today anyway

the A12-A13 site was fine in regression testing but I looked at today and some characters have reverted to ???s, like they used to. the correct farsi characters item was added today by Thomas. I have NO IDEA what caused the reversion or why Thomas' is ok.
image 5-16-1_CHE118C_A12-A13 is the site today.

AND - if I export a grades only spreadsheet from the site, the correct characters are there...
origGradesOnly_CHE_118C_A12_A13_SQ_2011.xls
if I export the structure, they're not...
CHE_118C_A12_A13_SQ_2011-structure.xls

I DON'T make this stuff up!
