Hi. You are trying to enter Unicode characters which don't exist in the 
default iso8859-1 PmWiki codepage. These characters get translated to what 
your browser thinks it should. 

To enable all Unicode characters, you can change your wiki's encoding to 
UTF-8. See:
   http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/UTF-8

and a demonstration:
   http://galleries.accent.bg/Main/WikiSandbox 
   (this site is with UTF-8 enabled)

If your site is English language only, there will be no problem at all. If you 
have other alphabets like Cyrillic, or Roman extended/accentuated characters 
like in French, don't do this.

Why don't you use just this:
D:
* Apps
** Extract
** Presentation
* Data
** App_Data
...
It will achieve almost perfectly what you want: display a structure of 
entries.

Good luck,
Petko
