The unintelligable character is more than likely a result of a utf8/latin1 conflict. Suggest to address that issue by using the db2utf8 conversion plugin that is in the plugins section. Backup the database before using it.
As to the permissions issue, it is a result of trying to use a directory as an image in this section of source code:
Code:
<!--eof-navigation display -->
<center>
<img src="includes/templates/Cameo/" alt="" /><br>
</center>
<!--bof-ip address display -->
There's two options typical for this, either have the image reference to a 1x1 size image instead of nothing or comment out/remove the code that is producing that image.
As to formatting issues with the upgrade, more than likely at some time template_default/css files were edited or added to and not carried over/specifically stored into the template override folders. The other possibility is that css files in the old template directory were not brought over to the upgraded site.
