If you are still seeing the bad characters, please try clearing your cache.

So that I can investigate further, would you mind doing the following:
1) Make a full-screen screenshot of a page where you are seeing the issue, upload it to your Media Library, and link to it here.
2) Let me know which browser and version you are using.
3) Let me know if you copy-pasted the content from elsewhere (e.g. Microsoft Word).

Thanks so much in advance!

By changing the theme, the problem has reslved itself.

If you change your browser's character encoding to ISO-8859-1 the menu bar has the correct diacritics and the main article does not.

I know this isn't an answer but it might give someone else a clue to what's going on.

Accents used in the actual text of blogposts are still rendered fine. Does anyone know why accent marks are now not displaying correctly in some parts of the blog architecture? Is this an update done by WordPress? Thanks.

See here (use the "code decimal" versions):

Every title of every post is embedded in the post URL and URLs don't contain diacriticals. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-title-url/

Ah yes, I can understand the amount you must get. Makes sense to remove!

Trying to figure out how to add special characters in from here. i.e accents, enye, etc. (jalepeno, cafe, decor would be examples of words I'd like to add.) I know how to access on Word, but haven't figured it out here. Thanks!
