￡ sign displaying with black diamond but Guttenburg wont let me use alt code

  • Hello,

    I have pages using the ￡ sign. They display perfectly. But if I “edit” any of these pages then when I update it or even preview it with no changes all the pound signs change to ? inside black diamonds.

    Note they only display wrong AFTER putting them into Guttenberg editor.

    So I go to edit the page and delete the ￡ sign. I replace it with £ but as soon as I update the page Guttenberg changes it back to a ￡ sign (in the code editor) and the page is now not displaying properly but I can’t fix it.

    Please help

    Additional information: if I changed to visual editor, and delete the ￡ sign and then retype it then it doesn’t make any difference. I would expect that if I am in the visual editor and I type ￡ then the Gothenburg editor would use the correct HTML. But when I do this and update the page the ￡ still displays as a ? inside a black diamond.

    What I am most puzzled about is that these ￡’s are displaying perfectly okay, and have done for years. It is only if I go to edit mode on one of these pages, then instantly this ￡ sign gets corrupted and can’t be changed back even with the proper alt code £.

    My WordPress site has been up for over 12 years so I can’t see how it could be a setup issue?
