Hello, It seems like something has recently caused ? symbols to be displayed as \243 on our FreeBSD 6 server. We think this is causing our rails-based payment system to fail to process transactions which is obviously very bad for us! Why / How would this start happening? The server is configured to use UK ISO keyboard map and it was working fine until recently. I''m at a loss to explain what has changed. Can I force this somehow? Thanks, Dominic
