Are you seeing this in a browser? If so, this is generally caused by the browser using the wrong encoding. For example, it's probably expecting Latin-1 (or Windows-1252) instead of the actual utf-8.
As for why, did you add anything else to your NOAA page? Such, as an encoding directive? If no encoding directive, then which browser are you using? Chrome autodetects the encoding, but generally gets it right. For others, you must set the encoding manually. -tk On Thu, Feb 4, 2021 at 2:15 PM bgra...@umw.edu <bgrat...@umw.edu> wrote: > Gary, > My upgrade to 4.4.0 was not a new install and I need to change manually to > utf8.
