if I post a page and extract the value using either the query string or the request content it displays correctly on the page but the actual value in the HTML is garbage thus:
£60
£80
no amount of escape and unescaping helps - the minute a pound sign is put in as a value and saved the above ensues.
From reading in here I’ve tried a few different options in the internet site document but to no avail - I’ve tried using both UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 but nothing helps.
It does not happen if I use a dollar sign but as this is good old Blighty that ain’t much use.

I don’t have a definite answer for you, but there are a number of articles on character encoding at Codestore. If one of them doesn’t help, you might try contacting Jake directly (his email is on the site) - he’s British too, and I’m sure he’s figured this out.

Thanks Esther I’m going to give those a go - it’s maddening this - I’m certain I have the character set all correct and yet the moment I save a £ sign as a checkbox value it produces the gobbledygook.
