I just moved my site to a new server...

and

The © symbol is appearing as a question mark

The line appears as

? Copyright 2006.

Can some one help?

Use © in the place of (c).

That would be a difficult task since the site has many pages.
Anything possible at the server end?

You shouldn't need to change the symbol to the entity reference - doing so would solve the symptoms but not fix the underlying cause.

This is a character encoding issue, and maybe a server misconfiguration. If you have Firefox, when you press Ctrl+I (Page Info), what encoding is listed? Also, are you including a meta charset element on the pages, and if so, what charset are you using?

Sounds like the old server specified the charset in the Content-Type http header but the new server does not. In this case, either the server must be reconfigured, or the charset must be specified by meta in the <head>.
