Well I still use MediaWiki 1.17.3 and it turns out it doesn't have many problems. It has no problem displaying special characters.
The problem may be with your browser. It is probably not Unicode compliant. Without Unicode, special characters would turn into things like boxes, question marks, weird symbols, or other things. Or you should upgrade to 1.19. It's the latest version of MediaWiki, released in May 2012. On Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 9:21 PM, Mark A.
