£ symbol preventing saving of content.

[ferret1958uk]

For several weeks I have been working on a website quite happily using 1.11.4 “Fernandina”.

Today I discovered a problem with using the £ symbol in the news modules summary or content area and also in the page content area.

It took me a few hours to realise it was the £ sign that was the problem. All text before the symbol is saved when I click either apply, or submit. The green bar appears at the top of the page to advise it has been updated.

I had been using the TinyMCE WYSIWYG to add the text, but opted to try HTML to make sure it was not the WYSIWYG. I set the WYSIWYG to 'None' in global site settings when I tried the HTML code.

The forum did not throw up much at all as to possible causes when I looked. There was a reference made to UTF-8 and Latin 1 differences back in 2008, but I do not understand that!

Is this enough information to ask for help with, and I hope that this has not been answered before as I did search?

Many thanks, in anticipation.

How about using £ in stead of the pound-charachter?

I just tried saving a £ and after that some more content in TinyMCE in a page on a 1.11.4 site and it worked OK for me; no truncating.

Post your site info: Site Admin -> System Information -> View text report.

TinyMCE is not listed. Did you remove it? Does the same thing happen with MicroTiny?
