Product Content missing in admin panel after transferring to new server

Hello,
we have moved one cart to a new linux server and all of a sudden realized that in the Admin Panel of the cart the content of half of the products is missing. They display ok on the customers side of the website, but not on the Admin portion. When i try to COPY and PASTE content from the archived cart to the new one, the content wouldnt copy....Then i realizes that if there were any kind of special characters like bullet points, `...etc, the content doesnt copy....If I remove them it would.

Any idea what may have happened and if there is a quicker way to remedy this? Thsi client has over 2000 products and it would take hell of a time to Copy and Paste each one and figure out if there are any special characters...
The transfer process and database copy didnot return any errors.

Thanks
