Don't seem to be working at the moment. For example...

1
2
3
4
5

All should have pound signs?

Also on this theme, they always seem to appear with an odd '' type character in front of them for me.

$$$$$$$$$$$$

I'm assuming the US have nicked them seeing as $ still works.

Brings me back to the old pre-web BBS and newsgroup days where you couldn't assume a pound sign would get through

Just my 0.02GBP worth.

I'm sure we've had this issue before on PH.

The pound sign is even lost in 'code' quotes.

It's a MSM plot to remove the pound in favour of the euro.

Sensible post from me this time...

I have noticed that all high ASCII is being stripped out. I tried to paste in a quote in French that contained accented characters and these were removed also.

As I alluded to in my earlier post, it's almost as if we are back to the days where only 7-bit ASCII was guaranteed to get through.

Thought I was losing the plot!

I am thinking that we have another database issue of sorts?

Are changes not tested fully on PH?!

Why is this issue not being taken more seriously by PH? Not being able to render the currency symbol of your target audience seems pretty fundamental to me.

Or if you're going to test them, change things, etc, maybe better to do it on a weekday rather than over a bank holiday weekend getmecoat
