Descriptive Problem Summary:
Character such as (®, ©, etc.) are being replaced by question marks on Long Description on Hub. This happened recently and I've tried to find the solution to the problem I am experiencing.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1) Create a game/library Hub.
2) Edit the hub.
3) Add any special character symbols onto the long description.
4) Save.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:


Expected Results:
Special character symbols would actually appear on the hub and not being replaced with a (?) symbol.

Actual Results:
Special character symbols are replaced with a (?) character symbol.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Recently. This happened on Monday.
In other games? N/A
In other user accounts?Yes.
On other computers?Yes.

When does the problem NOT occur?
N/A

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

Workarounds:
N/A
It looks like the hub and forums don't support Unicode characters (which is weird, because I could have sworn they used to). Try using the HTML Entity tags instead:

® becomes ®
© becomes ©

(Here's a list of ASCII symbols and their associated HTML entity names)
