Hi Ariel,
The gibberish is caused by a character-set discrepancy between your browser, Wordpress and/or MySQL.
To isolate and fix this problem, we need to see the character-set defined in Wordpress, MySQL and your browser. Please copy and paste here, the character-set and language information shown in the Wassup screen: "Wassup-Options"=>"Manage Files& Database" tab. Ex:
WassUp Table Charset/collation: utf8_general_ci
WordPress Character set: UTF-8
WordPress Language: en-US
MySQL Charset/collation: utf8_general_ci
Then, go to "view source" on the page where this gibberish displays and copy and paste here, the "context-type" meta tags (there may be more than one) from the document <head>.
Ex: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
