£ currency symbol do not appear

[laurentb]

Hi

I have a bit of a strange thing happening.

I don't remember it doing it before, so something must have.

It happens in very specific places and moments.

 

The first page that apprears after logging in, doesn't show the symbol £ in the table of product, but instead this �.

If I click on catalog, the prices them show the right symbol £ or €.

 

This defect happen only once in the catalog, and this is just after login.

 

Although once logged in

� appears on My Account, on Previous Order (pages and tables) and CheckOut,

but in item description, catalog the £ symbol is shown.

 

I have tested € £ both don't show in theses specific pages, but strangely $ appears always.

 

I forgot to say, that if the currency is presented in letters like USD, GBP theses are showing always like the $ symbol

 

Any Idea?

Thanks

Now I discovered that these html symbols are ok in the shop but now show as for exemple as &x163; in the invoices.

(by the way, how does one enter this sort of code &x163; without being changed to £. I have tried all the boxes, it doesn't seems to work)

 

 

Also when I go back to admin and adjust currency, the html is interpretated as symbol again, and goes away.

Do I have something corrupted in my files?.. as the newly downloaded version that I use for experiment on MAMP doesn't show similar behaviours.

 

Grrr
