Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

If anyone has found any interesting add-ons for Windows 10 I would like to hear about them as well.

I’ve been using winders 10 for a few weeks and haven’t had the problem till this morning.

It's not you. Odd Character Replacement in some articles

I’m seeing the same thing on my old Windows XP machine too.

This is not a windows 10 problem, it has recently started happening to me too on W8.1.

I find it mostly when I copy text from a FR post containing either single or double quotes, then paste the text into a reply. The preview shows the â€�‹œ junk and can be fixed by directly editing the reply.

In other words, the problem I've encountered seems to lie in the copying and pasting of single or double quotes.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

I am on windows 7 and have not upgraded.

Yesterday my FR threads came down shot full of diamonds with question marks inside The diamonds. The black diamonds were about the size of a font capital.

This seems to have gone away today, AND IS IN NO WAY RELATED TO WINDOWS 10. -TOM

It’s NOT Windows 10. Happens on my Android phone and tablet as well as an XP machine.

Are you logged in?

Sorry, it had to be asked.

IBAYLI? (In Before "Are you logged in?")

OK, now it is showing up in my signature block.

The accented characters appear correctly in my notepad file and in MS Word but not when posted on Free Republic.

I opened this thread in Chrome and saw the same text as I did using Firefox.

JimRob & JohnRob I have pinged you on the off chance that it is something to do with FR.

Try uninstalling this update and rebooting.

Im using an andriod phone and I have been seeing these€£¥₩%~ caracters as well. Went to setting and checked the auto correct box and that fixed the problem

[backwoods-engineer]

I upgraded to Windows 10 on Monday morning.

Found your problem!

[Stentor]

Happening on Mint 17.2.

Thank you one and all for your comments and attempts at humor.

I have found a work around for the problem. This is not a fix but it will do until one comes along.

It seems not all characters that work in Windows can be properly interpreted by HTML5. I replaced the appropriate letter, say é with the appropriate text string that HTML5 can interpret. In this case, &eacute_; (remove the underscore).

As you can see from my signature block below, it works until a solution comes along.

I found the solution here.
HTML5 “A numeric character reference expanded to the C1 controls range” error when using “_;(remove underscore)
