Cannot fix Special Characters in Twitter Share

    I have read the previous posts about this but nothing that will help me has come out them.

    I’m using the latest version of your plugin + wordpress’s latest edition.

    Certain characters will be displayed as ASCII code – or whatever it’s called – when sharing via Twitter button.

    Here’s an example post, this post’s title will contain said special character code when sharing via Twitter button:

    https://isyandan.org/makaleler/direnisin-talepleri-8-emperyalist-kapitalist-devletler-sisteminin-siddetine-karsi-oz-savunma-ve-devrimci-siddet/

    I’m not very savvy with coding. I don’t know how to find the php function that places the share buttons at the top of each post. I kind of looked around if I could apply this fix you mentioned in another post – couldn’t find what I was looking for:

    <?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT' ) ) {
    ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT( array( 'use_current_page' => true ) );
} ?>

    Also as a side note, in addition to this problem, is it possible to shorten the tweet (maybe by shortening the title of the post etc) so as to make it fit the 140 character limit? The post I linked above will also be exemplary in the way it’s too long for a tweet-share.

    Please help.

    The plugin update today (version 1.6.9) should resolve this for you. There was a bug affecting some sites that have a default character encoding other than UTF-8.

    Thank you, this update definitely solved my primary issue.

    What about auto shortening post titles to fit Twitter’s character limit though? Is it do-able?
