Weird text showing up in posts.
 
I don't know if this shows up on anyone else's computer, if it's just mine, or is it the other users. I only see it in Iduley's posts.

I thought the n/a €™s always ran rich? Or is that just the smell i get from mine lol

What's up?

90% of the time i use the Garagetalk app on my iphone when i’m posting so i think its an app problem

Styx PM’d me a few weeks ago about it too, wanted me to share my stash :lol:

That may have something to do with the text coding. For example, if a person used a word processor such as MS Word or Libre Writer then copied the text into the the "Quick Reply" box then some special characters such as the apostrophe could be miscoded as other special characters. This could even happen when a text editor is used then information is pasted in the "Reply" box on a mobile app. From the context of your example, it should read..."I thought the n/a's always ran rich?" However, the apostrophe was miscoded to represent the Euro and trademark symbols.

This happens frequently in cell phone txt messages, specifically for emojis. If someone sends you an emoji that may be custom (or particular to a carrier) then you may see it as a "boxed X".

Does that seem to make sense?

OK thanks. I was wondering if it was my computer. It appears the apostrophe is not translating correctly.

What is REALLY strange is your original post doesn’t show the odd symbols, but when you quoted my post it did on my phone
