Since building a simple blog tool a few weeks ago I have been wrestling with some mysterious characters that infect the users input. The user in questions is using a Windows system that for some reason enters characters like " or - in a none standard way, characters with ASCII code in the region 145-150. The result, blog entries with stuff like ?�� as a single character!
Anybody have an idea why this is happening and more crucially how I can eradicate it!
