Malformed Currency Symbols

£, $, € symbols and so on are not displaying as they should when the page has been saved and viewing contents in the browser. However they show correctly in the page editor. When I check the HTML version in the page editor I see that the symbols are not being returned in their HTML format. Is there a config setting that I missed to properly encode these special characters?

I've also tried using the "special character" button to select the currency symbol with the same result.

Using V1.6.6 on LAMP.

Is your DB is UTF-8 ?

Here are config setting you might be interested in

Code: Select all

$config['default_encoding'] = 'utf-8';
$config['admin_encoding'] = 'utf-8';
