Weird things happening with special characters

I know about encoding and displaying special characters, but I have something really weird happening! I have one CMS which governs several related client sites and some of the content is shared across these sites. All the sites use the same template and all have the same page encoding. I'm currently building another site for the same client using the same template with a few minor CSS changes, but for some reason if I input a special character via the CMS, say "£" it displays as "Â£" on this new site, but "£" on any of the other sites. However, if I input the £ sign directly into the database, it displays correctly on the new site but displays as � on the other sites. Any idea what might be causing this?
