I've seen this before and it seems to be the HTML::Entities escaping
(which Mason uses internally). This is the only solution I could come
up with (previously posted to this list):

http://www.nabble.com/html-escaping-changed--t3853201.html

So I add this line to my Apache Config and just escape the 'basic'
chars (all one line):

PerlSetVar  MasonEscapeFlags
    "h => \\&HTML::Mason::Escapes::basic_html_escape"

I've yet to hear or find out if this is actually a bad thing or if
it's okay. It's the only way I've figured it out. Let me know if that
solves your problem and also if you hear a better way of doing it.

There are many sites these days which don't seem to be able to cope
with escaping and sending out as UTF-8 so lots of sites display the
problems you're talking about.

Cheers,
Andy
