Which encoding do you use?

If you display an UTF-8 encoded page as Western (ISO-8859-1) then you can get such characters showing up.

Thanks Cor-el My FF5 encoding settings are set at "user defined". Is this something I can effect by making setting changes or is this something my webmaster needs to change in our code on our website templates?

HI Cor-el Just checked my page source and this is the charset for my pages: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Did you try to switch to UTF-8 ?

If it works if you switch to UTF-8 then you are using the wrong encoding.

Hi Cor-el Didn't realize you were talking about the UTF-8 setting on my computer, I thought you meant my web page template. I have now changed the Default char coding in my FF Tools>options and the icon has now gone. Many Thanks Peter
