Strange: � in articles

[wildenborch]

Hi,

In articles written with tinyportal V1.0 beta 4 (but also in beta 3) I have the following "thing" after saving the article. �

Can somebody inform me what this is and if this can be avoided / solved.

Maybe this is already asked before but I searched the forum but did not found anything.

Regards,
Fred,

It is usually a character that is not interpreted by the documents(articles) character set. If you are not using UTF8, and you post a character that can only be displayed in UTF8, it will show the character that you have shown.

It is usually something like a character from another lanauge besides English, or a character created by someone like Micro$oft.

I have a UTF8 language selected (Dutch UTF8)
Besides, is't not a character I've typed but an enter.

Here is the html code

How can that be an enter? It would only show that way in the output. If you are inputing that character into your article, then that is why it is showing up.

Can you post a link to your site so we can see it?

I checked a bit further and it happens after two enters or two spaces.
I guess I should not do that.

check it at: www.rodebaert.info

Thanks for the link. I'm going to try and replicate the issue when I get a moment. If you'd like, you can enter a bug in our bugtracker for Bloc to take a look. If I find out what is wrong, or figure out a fix I'll get to the bug before he does.

I have tried this on our test site with the same theme you are using, and cant replicate this.

are you using some sort of editor, ie frontpage, or anything like that?
what sort of article are you using  HTML, PHP or BBC

[wildenborch]

@ Ichbin: I will enter a "(possible) bug in the bugtracker

@ Lesmond: I use the standard wysiwyg editor that comes with TinyPortal v1.0 beta 4. I'm using the HTML article. If you wish I can create a temp account for you?

Hi Fred, not sure if I could help there! as we dont use UTF8 on the test site, maybe we should set that up too
