If you are having trouble getting currency symbols to display properly on your site, you have a couple of options:

• Option 1: Enter a compatible "charset" that is being used within your site's templates AND edit the Character Encoding setting.
• Option 2 (recommended option): Use "HTML entities" to display the appropriate currency symbol. An Internet search for "HTML entities" will provide you with an abundance of sites that you can use to find the correct HTML entity for your currency symbol.
