Have  character appearing in place of a £ sign in the Meta Title.

Hi,

I have Zen Cart v150 and have a  character being placed into my meta description when ever I type a £ sign.

Does anyone know where I can change this and whether or not it has something to do with the Charset?

Many thanks.

In phpmyadmin in the collation column I have two different charsets:

*utf8_general_ci *

and

*latin1_swedish_ci *

the main database appears to be in utf8 charset and any mods i've install appear to be in latin1 - is this normal?

I appear to have fixed it.

For anyone looking for the solution to this sort of problem.

Check your English.php file in either

languages/english.php

or

/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

and look for the line:

// charset for web pages and emails
define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

Mine was set to latin1 and by changing it from latin1 to utf-8 worked in my case :)

Hope that helps.
