You can use any unicode characters.

Hi Drew,

They disappear when I enter them into a textarea and nothing is inserted in its' place in Perch so is there any special attribute I need to use?

Thank you

Make sure you are serving your site as UTF-8.

Hi Rachel,

I've got <meta charset="utf-8"> in the <head></head> and it validates as HTML5.

The Perch region is HTML enabled so I don't really know what I can do.

Are the characters at the start or end?

Hi Drew,

It's a non-breaking space so it's in between regular ASCII text.

Should be no problem then. Can you show us the addicted template tag?
