Jukka my apologies, I'm just frustrated by this issue. I mean to cause no
problems here...to asnwer your questions as best as possible.

The reason I haven't is because the problem doesn't exist at the moment on
the website, I fixed it. When I went to edit something it did it again. I
spent another two hours fixing it again. So now I won't touch it so I don't
have to go through the whole procedure again. I just want to be able to find
a solution.

Yes I did, here they are again: ΒfΓfΒ,Γ,Β,ΓfΒfΒ Can you see them now?

Sorry I'm confused now, that is the software that I use online via my host
server's website. They host my website and have this program that is used
for creating/editing websites. You can use Dreamweaver if you like or any
other, but for me this is the most user friendly.

Again like I said, I contacted the vendor, they tell me they have no idea of
what is causing the problem. The only thing they suggested was that I tell
me host server who are running the WYSIWYG software to do the following:
"Sounds like an encoding issue. There are a number of solutions to this
problem, but this is the most effective:
First find out what encoding your website is using, most websites use either
iso-8859-1 or utf-8, lets assume you are using utf-8:
Set the encoding for the editor like this:
$editor->set_charset('utf-8');
(if you are using the usexhtml function make sure you call set_charset AFTER
calling usexhtml)
Now when saving html to your database make sure you first parse your posted
html code through the fixcharacters function and specify the encoding:
Include_once('editor_files/editor_functions.php');
$_POST['editorCode'] = fixcharacters($_POST['editorCode'], 'utf-8');
If you are using Mambo/Joomla just replace your WysiwygPro mambot."
Has this provided information for you now?
I've tried various forums to no avail and most posters report a similar
problem to mine and still have not received a solution from anybody...
