Hi,

Everytime I enter £ in a comment or a reply, it is displayed as :

£

How do I set this so the  does not appear?

Thank you

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Also can you tell us what language you are set to in

Dashboard>settings>general

Then come back

After some Googling, I think it might have something to do with my character set settings or coalition? But this is where it’s troubling for myself.

For more information, I’ve checked my database as the ‘£’ is actually being stored (i.e. it seems to be an input issue rather than retrieval), so it’s a problem between inputting and saving.

My wp-config.php shows:

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
Whilst the post tables in my database are here : http://i.stack.imgur.com/452XL.png

Many thanks
