Weird “?” letter coming before the checkout steps number

Hi there!

Thanks for your report!

This is definitely odd behaviour. Would you be able to share details about what theme you are using on your store as well as what browser you are observing this behaviour in? Thanks!

Also, could you share some details about what language your site is in if it’s not configured for English? Thanks!

Also, do you have your browser set to display websites in different encoding than the default?

Hi, sir.
Thanks for replying.
I am using Woodmart Premium Theme developed by Xtemos.
And I have observed this several times on Google Chrome and Firefox and also on Samsung Internet browser (mobile).
No, sir. I have not changed the setting for either my web server or my browsers.
Regards!

My websites run on Default English language, sir.

If you try changing your theme temporarily to something else (maybe try Storefront) does the issue persist? The symptom points to an encoding issue. The CSS used on this line is:

content: "\00a0" counter(checkout-step) ".";

The \00a0 is hex code for a space which should be interpreted just fine across browsers unless there is something affecting how the browser decodes the values or a plugin installed that is modifying the encoding of served assets. I would have also suggested a browser extension as the possible cause but the fact that you are reporting this across multiple browsers rules that out.

For instance, I’m able to reproduce this issue if I use this extension for Chrome to change the character encoding to something different from UTF-8.

I’ll try using the storefront theme and my original theme side by side on two different servers and perform a few tests. I’ll let you know about the result.

Hi @saugatakoley – were you able to resolve this by using a different theme?

Thanks!

Hi! Actually, I changed the server of my website. I am using the same theme as I was before but I didn’t come across the problem since then. I think there was something wrong with the server configuration.
Let’s close this topic for now. One thing that I wish to know is that whether this new cart block and checkout block is using react framework and webpack bundler? Also, if there are any further plans to add a my-account block because the current version of it looks really outdated.

Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me with the results!

Yes. All development is happening at https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gutenberg-products-block so you can follow along there if desired.

…are any further plans to add a my-account block because the current version of it looks really outdated.

We are exploring extending the ability to control account and various checkout routes (eg order-received) via blocks as well, but no ETA on that.
