some char in product desc is truncating

[svakanda]

I haven't figured out which characters specifically are doing it, but it is definitely ones that are generated manually by ALT + 0000 type codes. Is this a side effect of the cart not being natively UTF-8?

It's even weirder because when my partner goes in and puts them back...they seem to stay that way for some quantity of time and then one day...boom they are truncating the description again?

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for me? Thanks much!

Do they truncate again only after you edit the product in some way (ie: change stock quantity)? If so - try setting the admin to use only the Plain Text editor rather than HTMLArea or another wysiwg editor
