This is a misconfiguration with character encoding.

Was the server operating system, filesystem or server upgraded recently, 
or was the wiki migrated to a different server, or was the skin 
modified?

When you edit the page, do you see the correct "â" character in 
[[Siân/]], or you see a question mark?

The correct UTF-8 url-encoding of â is %c3%a2, when you follow a link 
like

   http://home/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Si%c3%a2n/HomePage

is the Siân group opened correctly?

If yes, I would assume your filesystem character encoding was modified, 
and your wiki might re-work fine by simply enabling UTF-8, see 
docs/sample-config.php

Here I'm not sure why but browsers seem to display the page in UTF-8 
while it is in cp1252.

Try adding this to config.php:

   $HTTPHeaders['cp1252'] = 'Content-type: text/html; 
charset=windows-1252';
   $HTMLHeaderFmt['cp1252'] =
     "<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; 
charset=windows-1252'/>";
