Since you are clearly happy to post using UTF-8, can I urge you to
fix your sig so that it comes out looking right?
Since it is my newsreader that is corrupting it, it is the fault of
the newsreader,
I don't think that's the case. Here is a test post using the same
newsreader and something that is probably close to what you want in
your sig. (Yours is too messed up for me to work out exactly what you
want it to look like.)

It does not happen immediately; instead, the signature that the
software saves gets more and more corrupted each time the software is
opened.
Is it saved in a file? Can you not restore that file from a clean copy?
I would need to do that every time i open the software. It seems to be saved in an XML file at ‘~/.pan2/posting.xml’ that explicitly states that its encoding is UTF-8, so i don't know why the software keeps reëncoding it into something completely different and then reading it back as UTF-8.
Is it possible that your locale settings are causing your newsreader to
misbehave?
I looked through various settings and found nothing that i could change to fix the problem.
No, i just have principles that i stick to.
If your principles require you to inflict garbage on the rest of us, you
should reexamine them.
They do not.
