I'm NOT on Tapatalk, but in your post #28, I only see the degree symbol in your first line, and only the circumflex capital A in the second line.
Your post #3 is still an incredible mess.

"Sent w/o me knowing"
Here's exactly what I see:

Using Chrome on a Windows laptop. I see the same stuff when using Brave on the same laptop.
Well, that's really interesting. It's displaying properly in some browsers. It's a little strange as it works in Chrome and Brave is a Chrome variant. There must be a lot going on "under the hood".
Looks like the problem is more than "one thing". Because the problem doesn't appear on all websites, and the problem doesn't appear with all browsers, it seems to be an issue with this browser and this website. Time to switch browsers again.

Just following Brave's support to try with a new profile and private window.
I apologize for the continual posts, but when I'm asked to try something, I have to try it where it has previously failed.
Here's the degree symbol - showing fine when I type it: °
Here is an A with a circumflex on top: Â
The degree symbol with have an A with a circumflex added to the front
The A with the circumflex will be changed to an A with a tilde
Even " symbols (that's a straight quote - like the inch symbol) are changed.
It would be fine if a moderator wants to delete this whole thread. It's gone on for four pages.
If I need to post, I can try again with a new thread. No word from the webmaster yet.
Okay - now that worked. Until I edited it. Sheeech!

Almost every post I've found points to an "encoding" problem between using Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) vs UTF-8 for display. Brave browser doesn't let me change the encoding but it doesn't display this problem when I use the same characters on other web sites. Because I have no feedback from the web-techs at hammockForums.net, that path is still a blackbox.
I'm only continuing to post in this thread when the Brave support people ask me to, "...try this." I understand this is a specific problem for me and never intended for the thread to go on so long. I thought it would be a quick fix or quick explanation. But it took forever to get the Brave support's attention and there is still no word from hammockforums.net about their encoding scheme. Somebody must know what happens between the time I push "Post Quick Reply" and when the page is posted/displayed. Because it all looks good when I first type it in this field. It's only when it's displayed back after posting that the trouble begins.
Added this test after installing Chrome: degree symbol °
Now testing with Brave: degree symbol °

I'm a happy degree symbol °, yes I am. No more circumflex A in front of me stands. With each new post, there came a dread. But now the moderator can delete this thread.

With differing software (ie... browsers) there are software upgrades and patches going on that we are not privy to (unless we set a flag to see each path and upgrade in those software products that allow).
Now, the encoding has become patched and the browsers have become patched, and sometimes it is simpler to just delete and re-install the latest version - because these new revision releases go through a more through vetting after the patched-patches and revisions.
Like Windows... arghhh where's my penguin?
No way am I deleting it. I am learning new stuff as you guys "bat" ideas back and forth....yeah I know I am easily amused
