Hi, i have some weird symbols that replace certain punctuation marks in LY. I just noticed it today.

I circled the symbols using PAINT.

any ideas why it turns out like that?

Thanks.

Should be due to a character encoding mistmatch. Lemme see what I can do.

I am viewing this in IE, Firefox on Windows XP, and on Firefox on Linux. All 3 of them show chinese characters.

Can anyone else chip in if they face the same problem?

I'm pasting this in UTF-8. Is it displaying correctly?
