I'm running a German / English version of 1.3.8 here in ... Germany. So there are special characters I am trying to code into the item descriptions, and Zen Cart keeps translating them when it should not.

For instance: ü . That's u umlout. The universal code way of writing that letter is
Code:
ü
That needs to STAY written that way otherwise most browsers will simply see the special character ü and substitute a "?" for it or something maybe even more involved.

How can I adjust Zen Cart so it leaves the code alone ü in the description and does not change it into the actual character?
thanks
