When Posting with the "degrees" "°" symbol...

It cuts the post off / deletes all the text after the "degrees" symbol.   

For example,  I posted a text block with 12°F (-11°C),  and everything was there up to 12,  then everything else deleted.

It shows ok in preview,  but when you "post"  it deleted the degree "°" symbol and everything after it.

I post this:
TIP: With colder weather coming, keep in mind that DEF behaves like water and will freeze at 12°F (-11°C) and will expand.

And the only thing that will show up on the post is:

TIP: With colder weather coming, keep in mind that DEF behaves like water and will freeze at 12

Any idea why?


I went into the database directly,  on that message that got cut off and inserted:

"With colder weather coming, keep in mind that DEF behaves like water and will freeze at 12°F (-11°C) and will expand"

And then when I go back to the forum the message is displayed as:

TIP:With colder weather coming, keep in mind that DEF behaves like water and will freeze at 12°F (-11°C) and will expand.


And if I try to modify it,  it deletes the degree symbol and everything after again??

Are you posting in a topic or or in an HTML form?   If HTML did you try using ° or ° ? ;)

Ok, I also tried in a topic but had the same results as you. Sorry.

I'm unsure though it sounds relevant: what character set are you using?

GohighVoltage

I am just using the english language and character set.

So is this a bug of some sort?    Hopefully fixable?

Can other people post this statement in their forum,  as a test message,  and let me know if it works (shows everything and correctly,  and what version SMF you are running?)

I posted it and it came out:

SMF RC3 with Simple Portal.

G1,  So you don't have the same issue?  I thought you said you did.   When I post that statement,  it only shows:

TIP: With colder weather coming, keep in mind that DEF behaves like water and will freeze at 12
