If there's a problem with your newsreader, have you reported it to the
maintainers?  Have you considered using a different newsreader, or
finding a workaround, or changing your sig?

 The bugreporting system for the software does not allow anonymous reports.  I cannot use another newsreader.  There is no workaround.  Changing my signature is not an option.

Your software results in your signature being changed into the following:
"Blue-Maned_Hawk│shortens to
Hawk│/
blu.mɛin.dÊ°ak/
│he/him/his/himself/Mr.
blue-maned_hawk.srht.site
My signature used to have a cuss in it.  One day, somebody quoted an
article of mine and included the signature, but censored the cuss."
As displayed on my system, that signature includes lots of capital 'A's
with tildes over them. Other people might be seeing something different,
depending upon how their systems are configured. Is that in fact what
you wanted your signature to look like?
If not, keeping your signature is also not an option. If all options are
blocked, what do you do? You'll have to figure a way to unblock one of
the options. I'm not sure what the obstacles are, but changing your
signature seems naively to be the easiest approach.
