Saving Fractions Stopped Working

    Do you have any insights into this odd problem?

    Basically, saving “????????????????” turns into “????????????????”. Most of them get replaced. I thought it was a database table charset issue but I’m having trouble recreating it from scratch. Disabling all plugins and reverting to base theme still causes the issue. Fresh WordPress doesn’t cause any issues, which is why I think it’s related to the charset in the database even though I can’t replicate if I use a fresh database and use the charset I think is causing the issue. Very odd.

    Just wondering if you had any insight at all, thanks.

    I think I just answered your support ticket as well? It will be easier to handle things there.

    I would indeed suspect a charset problem. What is the DB_CHARSET set to in the wp-config.php file?

    Sorry, too many devs. I’ll leave you to chat with JS.

    But to quickly answer your question:
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_unicode_ci’);

    However, in the database, wp_posts/wp_postmeta is latin1_swedish_ci.
