I have two thoughts that may be related, 

Wikopedia may only accept certain fonts, other font symbols would turn
up as garbled text. Find out which fonts the service accepts.

Imbedded characters from some word processing programs may be causing
the garbled characters. I found this sometimes happens when
translating between Wordperfect and Word. Maybe people need to submit
TXT files exclusively, it may be a good test to submit several
different types, Rich text, wpd, and txt and see what happens.
