Tidy replacing   with a weird character

I am using Tidy (with PHP5) with UTF8 input, output, and char encoding enabled. When I clean a string with an   in it, it is replacing it with an odd character. I've tried messing with the tidy config but nothing I try seems to work.

Before Tidy:

This is a test.  Why does this not work?

After Tidy:

This is a test. ▒Why does this not work?

I don't know what the character is, but I assume it has something to do with the encoding of the enteties in utf8. Any ideas as to how I can get tidy to just leave the   alone?

Solution

  • Have you tried the preserve-entities config option?
