Unusual symbol in front of £ sign
|
raelyn member Posts: 5 |
This symbol, Â, appears in front of every £ sign in my product descriptions when I checkout in Paypal as well as in my shopping cart in a Safari browser. How can I get rid of the symbol?
Example
Product description is: Other Amount £
Paypal displays the above as: Other Amount £
Thanks!

Hi raelyn,
Make sure your page allows for UTF-8 character set. The meta code in your page code should look like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Thanks Stefanie, but the charset is already UTF-8. Any other suggestions?

Raelyn,
Could you send the URL of your cart so I can take a look for myself, and hopefully pinpoint the problem?

Taking a look at that page in Firefox and IE7, I notice the extra glitchy characters only appear for me when I manually change my browser's text/character encoding setting to something other than Unicode UTF-8 (such as Windows Western European ISO-8859-1), which apparently overrides the page's built-in charset spec. Normally, this browser setting should be set to auto-select, so it will use whatever charset each page specifies.
