Fonts not rendering correctly see ° for degree

[cougarmeat]

Is just my browser and OS (Mac Ventura and Brave) or are others seeing the same thing - that multi-key font characters are not showing up correctly?

For example, if I type 30 degrees as 30°, I see the little circle. but as soon as I post it, it turns to what you see here: 30°

For me, this is most prevalent in the For Sale sub-forum where prices are listed.

It didn't used to be that way. I've looked at the page with Safari and FireFox and they all show the same thing.

Is this a system issue on my side or has something changed on the website side? I believe I emailed a moderator about this but never heard back.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

I use Alt Codes all the time. They always display correctly for me on here. I don't use Tapatalk, if that matters.

Ones I use on the job all the time...

° (Alt + 0 1 7 6)
± (Alt + 0 1 7 7)
² (Alt + 0 1 7 8)
Ø (Alt + 0 2 1 6)

Just reusing this post to try things on a different desktop and/or browser.
Degree symbol test ((shift option 8) 30° - looks good when I type it in. Now to save and view.

Another try with UTF-8 encoding specified. 30° - again, it looks good when I type it in. Now to Save. Nope - still renders as 30Â(degree symbol). Try again. 30°

Yikes!

The bottom one doesn't even have the correct character. Going down the line, the ones I posted were "degrees," "plus/minus," "squared," and "diameter."

Maybe check the default language settings for your Mac...it might be on some other version of English? Not sure how, I use Windows.

I have sent PM to ATTROLL to see if he can assist at all.

As in type up post in Word, then cut/paste post into the forum?

I'm on a mac (still running Monterey and using safari) but here's a test: 30˚ (using option + k for the degree symbol).

For a point of reference, see the screenshot attached. When cmc4free posted a list of alt codes, they all displayed properly in their post, however when you quoted them, they were all garbled. That makes me think it's possibly something on your browser/computer end.

(Edit to add that when I post this and view it, I correctly see 30 with the degree sign afterwards)

I agree this is likely specific to cougarmeat's computer or browser, because I've typed ° on here using the Alt Codes for ages and never heard of the issue before, nor has it been garbled whenever my posts have been quoted by others.

@cougarmeat, do you ever view the forum on a cell phone? same there?
