Displaying Special Chars in Page Content

  • Hello,

    I have some page titles that are things like “￡50 MP3 Player”, “32inch TV only ￡500” etc etc. I understand that the ￡ won’t show in the permalinks – that’s fine, but I do want to the to show when I echo $post_title into pages, lists, recent posts etc.

    Any ideas?

  • You should be able to insert the pound sign in the title. When you insert it (just by copying and pasting it) make sure that you double check the permalinks. I had to add the TM symbol in the past to some of my post titles, and weird characters get inserted in the permalinks.

    Hi,
    That’s a “popular” problem lately. I’ve been seeing that people are using Cufon-based themes for their pretty fonts, and off-the-shelf Cufon often breaks pound and other symbols.

    You could also try using this bit of code for your pound sign instead of pasting it from a word processor. It may work depending on your character set.
