As the title says. I've checked the database and it's displayed like you're however it's being displayed like you�re on the products page.
In case it displays differently on other browsers it's a ? in a diamond that's being displayed.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm i seem to still be getting random characters, any idea's how i can find out which character set is best? Both the one's you suggested don't work with this particular feed from webgains and the encode filter doesn't seem to be resolving it.
Thanks
Steve
Found out that the global encode i was doing was actually reverting some of the fields, guess i'll need to do a more local encode on the feeds.
Sorry for the last message, was a little hasty :)
Cheers

Hi Steve,
This means that there are characters in your feeds that are in a differnet character set to the configuration of your site. The default is UTF-8, so in this case, edit your config.php and change line 4 as follows:
$config_charset = "ISO-8859-1";(which is the other common character set).
However, if this fixes that particular description but then causes more encoding errors than it solves, the solution would be to use a UTF8 Encode filter (ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 conversion) on the Product Name and Description fields for the feed causing the problem. To add filters, click Filters alonside the feed from the /admin/ home page...
Cheers,
David.
