Odd characters


Recommended Posts

Can someone explain why some postings contain 'odd' characters? I have seen many postings on here that have €£ etc in the text but they are clearly not intended. It seems to happen where someone has tried to use ' or " or maybe brackets. Is this because aserty keyboards are used or is it particular to me reading it on my electronic device?

It's likely that the posts are older ones containg 'special characters' which suffered in the conversion process from one server to another. To go back and change them wouldn't be viable. It can also happen when some copy and past from Word or some other web pages.
