Wordpress Update My Page Now Shows £ As An Unidentified Character

Recommended Posts

Hi, I updated my wordpress site with a theme update, now my custom code which had £ signs in it, is replaced with a question mark in a diamond �.

Does anyone know why, my google searches suggest it is because it is a replacement character but a £ is quite common, my site is set to UK english.

It's usually the font/character set used...

not all fonts / character sets have all symbols, so it may not have a £ in the selected font, so is replacing it with a blank or ?!

It could also be the database encoding - i'm not sure how/where you're storing the info with the £ symbol...

You could try and switch to HTML mode, then change all the £ symbols to £ - this will then show the "html" friendly version.
