Question mark replaces some characters

  • Several times (before I found this forum) I’ve noticed that a question mark replaces some special characters when I create a title. The dash is one example- it turns into a question mark. I think colons do the same. What’s up with this?

  • go in your admin control panel->settings->reading settings and make sure Encoding for pages and feeds is set to utf-8. In case is I would try with latin just for testing.

    Thanks, but no luck. I also unchecked where it says to “Convert emoticons like ?? and ?? to graphics on display” under Settings> Writing.

    I would also check the wordpress database tables in phpMyAdmin. The mysql collation should be normally: utf8_general_ci.

    It would be very weird to convert normal characters to questions marks. Maybe you have some specials characters in there.
