I have just moved servers and £ ( pound sign ) on components and search results is now displaying as ? ( question mark ).

I notice many people have had this problem and there was a link to a knowledge base article - now a dead page.

Did this problem ever get resolved, if so how?

Thanks

I have just spoken to Rackspace ( Thank God for Support Staff who know what they are talking about ).

They changed the default encoding on my server to charset=iso-8859-1 and cured the problem instantly. I don't know if this has already been posted but hope it helps.

The problem was that your webserver was using 'Unicode' (UTF) as the default character set, but it should be using ISO. Change:

AddDefaultCharset UTF8

to

AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
