Strange Symbol Showing on Product Page

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The symbols below are showing on a product page where there is a line breaking space. Not sure when and how I managed to accomplish this. But they go away if I edit that product, go into the HTML Editor (they don't display in the editor) but if I delete those spaces and press enter again to reinsert the line breaking space they no longer show on the product page.

? is there a SQL query I can run to remove them or replace them with the correct html line breaking space script. They are on a lot of product pages!

	From what I have just read, it can appear after restoring database from backup file.

	UPDATE By removing only one of the symbols using the html editor, seems to remove all of them on that page.

	That is strange because the character appears in your source code. I noticed that you don't specify a charset in your header code which may have something to do with it. Nigel

	try adding one of these tags directly below the <head> tag in your header.asp: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

	Thanks for that, <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> done the trick, I did read that the symbol is related utf-8 character set. Greatly appreciated!
