Due to an import some characters like é, ë are displayed wrongly.

e.g the British pound-symbol looks like & #163;

How can I conduct a query on a current database with the alien-characters in order to have them properly displayed?

Did you import XML files?
Is your problem related to entitization?

Yes, I did import via xml
The SQL tables can be retrieved. It's just the update query to transform all characters into understandable things.
