Strange. My browser (firefox) was set to UTF-8 encoding. I set it to
ISO-8859-1 and the mdashes display fine. If I change the encoding in
the header of the web page to UTF-8, and then try to view with the
browser set to UTF-8, I still see the nonsense character. Any ideas on
why this won't work with UTF-8. The header of the Wordpress page shows
UTF-8, and everything displayes fine with the browser set to UTF-8.

Thanks,
