Also yes, the leftmost number in the Finch diagram should definitely be a 3

Since he says this, it seems that he did mean to have a ④ in the diagram.

On hex-prism boards the Finch and Cohen can also move one step at right angles to the hex plane like a regular Wazir, likewise the BADBABA (Curved Dabbarider) 2 steps, ERTBUCHET 3, and BOCBLER 4.

What had happened to this page, as well as many others (incl. several of Gilman's, f.ex.) is the same that had happened to this page (cf. the comments); it should be fixable by the same means: converting from UTF-8 to Windows-1252.

It was. Thanks.

Strictly speaking, Mojibake refers not to an encoding but to the effect of a mismatch between (writer's and reader's) encodings.

I guess it was written in an encoding called Mojibake. I changed to Jörg Knappen to Jörg Knappen, ° to °, and ½ to ½.

Presumably this is something like {4}, but then this is another regression in the Designer, and we should seek out other pages that might have the issue. But there are lots of other examples on this page with circled numbers, maybe it's just missing a %? (Have I understood this correctly, that {%4} should produce a circled numeral 4, and that the brackets as well as the percent sign is being URL encoded, leading to the horrendous strings in the source here, like %7B%254%7D?

I added a %25 in front of the 4, and it produced a circled numeral 4. Looking at the diagram, maybe a 3 should go there instead. But since I didn't write this page or design the diagram, I couldn't say for sure.

On another matter, it looks like this page was not written in UTF-8, and I have to make some corrections if I can figure out what characters are supposed to show up on the page.

The color number 4 has not been assigned to a color. Make sure you assign color values to every color used.

Proselyte looks a good idea - and the initial P of Panda is a useful
mnemonic. Now what analogous name could there be for the 120° and 60° hex
ones, the 90° Crooked Bear (alternating between Angel subsets of two
Gryphon moves) and the 120° and 60° cubic ones of that, and the 90°
compound?

If you use your browser's search facility to find EMD and Anchorite on
this page you will see that EMD is Even Move Direction - the direct
direction to a normal Crooked piece's alternate destinations - and
Anchorite is a piece name devised to sound similar to Aanca but without
duplicate the meaning of Gryphon. You will also find the Angel of this
comment's first paragraph - a Gryphon restricted to colourbound moves.
