£ (£) symbol in web forms Tiny MCE editor

Hi, I’m trying to get the pound symbol (£) into a an embedded section of HTML in a web form. I believe that Alfresco uses Tiny MCE as the WYSIWYG editor. The issue I have is that at the moment if I enter a £ symbol in the Tiny MCE editor the web form (XSLT) converts it into Â£ in the final exported

Just a quick update and a workaround. The update is that I was wrong thinking it was converting out on deploy/download. It appears to be leaving the £ symbol intact when the source is deployed/downloaded (as seen in a text editor). Now for the work around, I have put the following lines in the XSLT in order to make it UTF8 encoded.


<head>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
</head>

Oddly enough when I add the above text, Alfresco then adds it’s own line in above my one so it looks like this:


<head>
 <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have added it and removed it from the XSLT in order to be sure it’s just happening when the lines are added. I don’t mind as it does not effect the running of the page but it seems a little odd to do this, it’s almost like it forgot until I have reminded it.
