Re: [webshack] Â Character

Hi webshack,

So are the extra characters on the website pages or in the editor? If they're on the website pages the common cause is different charsets. Make sure you're viewer pages have this meta tag in the head of the html:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

In most cases that will fix it. If it doesn't your web host may be sending it's own charset value, so try adding this as the very first thing in the page (before any spaces even):

<?php ini_set('default_charset', 'utf-8'); ?>

Let me know if that fixes it.

THANK YOU! The extra characters were in the website pages, so I changed the charset to UTF-8 and it worked! I appreciate your help.
