The title was a quote from Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

But in all seriousness, take a looksie at my name. What went wrong? I used to have an accent on the "I" like this... "i"? No, thats not right. It seems I do not know how to do it on my iMac keyboard... Yet.

But yes, why the change?

Just to make things clear from my very unclear post...

How come "í" wont appear when I type it in my name anymore? It is just replaced with a "?"

On the OSX side hold Alt and press I, I think. I'm on XP at the moment

Slink press CTRL+alt+cmd+8... But I think you know that

Probably the code Slink; ASP.

PHP does that with "raquo"'s too... and other weird characters.

Tim: nonsense, in the end it outputs as plain HTML, and that's what the end user gets.

It's called character encoding, it could be that TDC recently switched to different character encoding making your original í invalid in the character set used. Re-enter it?

EDIT: I think there's new character encoding alright, because my signature now has a bunch of extra enters.

*sigh*

Yes, you basically explained what I meant... when characters like that enter a database, it is often changed via this character encoding to make it readable. Its output is then what it was changed into, as you said - as plain html. It happens when you do things like putting » instead of the html code "raquo;"

kthnx.

My point was that ASP has nothing to do with the character encoding though, you define it through a meta tag.
