It's been a few weeks now, but I'm sure those pesky characters are becoming annoying. I did see one thread where I moderator say it was being worked on, but I have yet to see a fix. Perhaps fellow freepers can help "crowd fix" / offer possible solutions. Second the motion.

I am seeing them on other web pages and in my email sometimes. Just an FYI.

I’ve seen people suggesting pasting into notepad, but it doesn’t seem to be working-

Except that this is a colossal pain in the keister, especially for any long posts. Yeah, but isn't it worth it ?

Hey, thanks, that link you posted (below) worked like a charm! I just took a long article with lots of quote marks, etc., and ran it through that tool, and it came out ready to copy and paste, and it showed up here on FR without all those funny characters. Saved a lot of time versus going through and looking for dozens of places to replace.

Use the “preview” function. Where the funny characters show up, go back and re-type them by hand. That fixes it.

The "funnies" seem to have disappered in the forum but I still get them in my RSS feed titles.
Any chance of eliminating them there?
