Hi! Question about special characters in forum...

Hey guys, I registered here not to long ago and am very glad I found this excellent Star Wars forum!

I just had a question: it appears that some days when I post, special characters (e.g. the é in Padmé) come out properly, but then other days the é becomes replaced with two strange characters namely, an A with a tilde followed by a copyright symbol. I always post using the same browser and the same computer. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, if there is a way to get around this problem, or if it's just a random forum bug?

If this isn't the appropriate place to post this question, please move it to wherever it belongs - thanks!

 

IGNBQ can't handle foreign characters very well. With the French characters, it seems able to get them right sometimes. As you go further afield though, the Slavic and Cyrillic characters don't work at all

 

I know that a lot of fanficers have this problem when they type something in MS Word and then copy/paste it here into the boards. Not sure why it happens, just that it happens to a lot of people. Though if your not copy/pasting then I don't know why that is happening.

I just don't put the ' on the e!

 

I think some dude with no life at all came up with a solution to your problem in this thread in Communications.
