Hi!

PP doesn't like special characters, like scandinavian letters, so I code them.
When you post coded characters like Ø - Ø the characters looks well on the web. But when you open the post for reediting, PP converts the coded value to the actual character (Ø), and there you go again...

It would be nice if PP didn't do this, even better if you could post with special characters directly (like Wordpress).

BTW: I've tried to comment out line #105 and #115 in functions.php, but that doesn't do the job.

Regards,

All form fields with it's content are converted to "web view" of it. That is not PP fault.

There shouldnt be problems with storing content in DB, also with special chars.

Storing is not the problem. The problem is when you want to edit and old post: When you open it, it's now (correct, if I used coded chars in the first time) special chars. But when I apply changes, the spesial chars doesn't come out right in the web.

In short: I can't use special chars in a new post either.
