Hi Bina,
The answer is an unfortunate yes; you will need to manually update those blog entries which are affected.
Those symbols usually appear for users who copy/paste documents from MS Word (or another rich text word processor) into their blog entries. Mainly single and double quotes are affected b/c WP automatically converts them into their HTML entities -- in your case, it seems that WP couldn't understand them and couldn't convert them accordingly.
To avoid this in the future, if you're going to write in a rich text word processor, make sure to copy/paste the text into a plain text editor (i.e. Notepad) before pasting it into WordPress.
