Special characters changed?
So, normally I use special characters (like ♠, ♣, ♦, ♥ and others) to differentiate chars from others, or to remind myself what kind of relationship they have with my chars. I use them to make the vehicles or building names fancier. Well, since like yesterday, these chars are disappearing when I click on my char's page. I mean, I can see the 'fancy' characters on the player's page, but as soon as I click on the char and it opens, the special characters are replaced by other characters. Even the European characters are changed, and my Spanish accents and 'ñ'. I try refreshing the page and closing and opening the browser... is it a glitch?

At least it still works in location names. I have one with ✭ and that's still visible.

I've seen that it happens only on my spanish chars. Even the top of the page is like this...

Might want to check your browser's character encoding settings, make sure you're set to UTF-8. I can see the special characters you type here on the forum.

Yep, it looks like a browser problem.
I've just tried to add special chars to my character's name and it worked. So if it's not browser issue, you can also try to rename your characters again.

Re: Special characters changed?
I try to rename the chars again, but as soon as I reload the page or leave and come back to that char, it makes the same thing. Could I ask how to set my browser to UTF-8? I don't really know how to..
EDIT:
I've checked and it only happens with my Spanish chars.... I'll try to fix it.
