Special characters in 2.8.1? (5 posts)

    Is anyone else having problems displaying special characters with 2.8.1? The dashes in my page entries, for example, have turned into these sluglike characters. It appears to be a browser issue, I've cleared caches and tested it on several.

    Doesn't work in

    Firefox on Windows XP
    IE on Windows XP

    Works on

    Chrome on Windows XP
    Firefox on Mac 10.4.11
    Safari on Mac 10.4.11

    The browsers are all the latest versions. Thanks.

    The dashes and quotation marks aren't appearing correctly.

    Well it seems to have resolved itself, I also installed my new theme. Tagging it as such.

    I found out what the problem was. Any special characters should be entered "as is" in the Visual editor and with its character entity in the HTML editor.
