Is anyone else having the problem of punctuation and special characters breaking lately? F'instance, when I look on my pet Horus Lupercal's page his story now looks like this "Primarch of the Luna Wolves – or the Sons Of Horus, as they would become -" with many of the non-letter characters replaced with symbols. But only some of them, with the replacements being seemingly random. I've also seen it around the site like with the '🌟🔥 Fireside Related Bugs' and '📜 Ѽ * Carve a Pumpkin 500 Achievement' topics and some item's tooltips. So I was wondering whether anyone else was seeing it or whether I just need to update Google Chrome?

this was a problem recently, you should be able to fix it on your pet profiles by simply deleting the garbled text and replacing it with the correct characters (it might be faster if you copy the story into word or a similar program to do a 'find and replace all'), although as far as i know special characters like hearts and arrows are still not working, and simply show up as question marks. as for other parts of the site, not much else to do but wait and see if a solution presents itself.

That's annoying. I was kinda hoping it was just me...

Do the staff know about this? I know it might not be a priority given the whole New Year's/Luminaire mess but it'd be nice to know whether I should inform them or if I'd be telling them something they already knew.

I think this started happening when we changed servers.
