    The £ symbol works fine for me. Sounds like a character encoding issue, maybe UTF-8 isn’t properly implemented somewhere in your wordpress installation or database.

    Hi tvanhermert.

    Would the encoding of the site affect the email template?

    It shows fine on a Mac, just not Outlook on the PC.

    I’ll double check the the site is UTF-8, thanks for the suggestion.

    If the database doesn’t use UTF-8 it won’t properly save the £ symbol in the database. It could also be your settings in outlook causing it to display wrong.

    Hi,

    The issue is definitely related to your database. We’ve seen this before, and you’ll need to make sure your database is encoding it correctly.

    Thanks!
