Character non-coded

[francesco_fresc]

Hi, I have a problem in a lookup table extension. I made a mapping between the currencies symbols and the currencies code (eg. $ -> USD, £ -> GBP, ...) as I publish in any environment the £ symbol is replaced by an invalid character (i.e. "�"), it seems like there's a issue related to charset encoding. Could you provide us with a kind of workaround to solve this? Please find attached the screenshot http://i.imgur.com/TomPRHK.jpg?1

Hi Francesco, The best way to avoid encoding issues is to write the symbols directly as unicode. There's a nice 3rd party tool I use for encoding strings here: http://rishida.net/tools/conversion/. The GBP symbol, for example, is \u00A3 Just enter this into your extension in place of the £ symbol. Hope this is useful. Craig.
