I am having a problem with the charset encoding on my Wordpress blog
There's a PHP Amazon script I like to use that will display a list of books at the end of the post. The script works fine, but it displays British Pound symbols - £ - as question marks within the Wordpress blog page.
When I change the charset coding on the Wordpress blog from the default utf-8 to iso 8859-1 the pound symbols show up OK
So my question is - should I just build the entire blog using iso 8859-1? It is new so I don't have any issues to worry about with old posts etc in the mysql database.
Are there other problems about using iso 8859-1 I should be aware of? I can't think of any showstoppers but I am worried I am missing something
