Is it possible that maybe your keyboard is set to a different language? Sometimes, if you set your keyboard to a certain language, it messes up your text just like you presented.

1. Browser and version number (extensions and plugins in applicable)

2. Operating system

3. Link to other posts prior to this time stamp that it is affecting

4. Test this on multiple text editors (quick reply, and full editor in your replies to this). Also use the BBCODE button as well.

5. Once I have that I may require you to submit a support ticket

Assuming that your text does not appear malformed while typing but only after being sent, your browser is not using UTF-8 and seems to be ignoring the on-page directive. As Jeric asked, what is your browser + version number?

To put my faith in the same magic that must have likely caused this, have you tried turning it on and off restarting your computer?

I just restarted. Let's hope this works!

There were a million and one theories of why that issue could happen. It shall forever remain a mystery, sadly...

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped me!  You guys are the best!

[Jeric 46,866]

This is literally the first time I have marked the questioner as having the best answer

 

Hopefully it was client side and resolved
