EditorMonkey and the letter “?”

  • Hi all,
    I’m using EditorMonkey to edit my posts and it seems like there’s a problem with the letter “?” or “Æ”.
    For some reason it’s being ‘translated’ into “Æ” instead of “Æ”. It doesn’t matter which of the two editors in EditorMonkey I’m using.
    If I disable EditorMonkey then there’s no problem, “?” is being shown correct.
    I don’t have any problems with other international chars, only “?”.

    I don’t know if this a fault in WordPress or EditorMonkey.

    Any ideas?

    You really don’t know…? ??

    Well… I don’t know which component is translating special chars like “?” and “&” into Æ and &amp ;

    Who does this, the editor or the post render? (whatever it’s called, I don’t have much knowledge about WP yet)

    Sounds like ther plugin is making your charset act odd. Check Options -> Reading to see that it is UTF-8. Then check if the plugin might be changing it, using any filters like wptexturize, etc.

    Encoding is set to UTF-8 and I don’t have any other plugins than EditorMonkey.

    Just noticed that my first post was wrong, it’s "?" that’s being translated into "Æ" and not the correct "Æ".

    It’s only “?” that’s a problem, others like “?????” works fine.

    Ohhh… there’s an extra filter call being put in somewhere. So WordPress is seeing the entity and processing the & like it’s an uncorrected characted. It’s doing this to be XHTML compliant which is all well and good, just look for that particular filter EditMonkey is adding.

    The extra filter call is put in by the WordPress plugin. In recent versions of EditorMonkey, the filter call in the WordPress plugin has been removed.

    Hi, did you find a solution?
    I can read it from your posts ??
    I have the exact same problem.
