Switching to a system theme and deactivating all the plugins, as you
suggested, Rick, still produced the error. However, a clean install
elsewhere on the server with a new database worked fine. So I began to
think that the problem lay with that one particular database. I
created a new database, dumped the data from the suspect one and
imported into the new one. (In the dumping/importing the suspect
characters were - for some reason, I don't know why - stripped out).
Now everything is working again and, most importantly, I can enter
those characters without getting the error (they are going in and
coming out of the database without an issue).
I am no clearer as to the cause of the problem (which makes me nervous
lest it happens again), but I do have a working site again.
Thanks for testing for me

Do the non-ascii characters cause an error when used in a post?
If I have debugging on, the text area gets filled with the error
information. If I have debugging off, the text area (where I'm
inputting the content of the post) simply goes blank, and on the site
the content is blank. I can see what I have entered only if I look in
the database directly.
You say it is on a different site. Are the two sites on different
servers? If so, what db backend are each of them using.
Both sites are on the same sever. db backend is MySQL.
PHP version 5.3.0
MySQL version 5.0.67
I've tried the text you pasted in a comment on a site running r4862,
SQLite, PHP 5.3.3, Ubuntu 10.10. There were no errors.
I have been modifying quite heavily the site that is giving me the
error, so it is quite possible that I have done something
inadvertently to break it. It has more plugins installed (some I have
modified) and a more customised theme than the site which is OK.
I fear I may have to re-trace all my steps to find out where I've
gone
wrong :-(

As a first step I'd try switching to one of the system themes (k2,
Mzingi, Charcoal). That at least could tell you whether it's the theme
or not, before you try to trace through the plugins. If it isn't the
theme, I'd deactivate all the added plugins, then reactivate them one
by one until the issue shows up again (assuming it goes away when the
plugins are deactivated).
