Character conversion error since upgrade.

[Phil Schaming]

I've just upgraded from early 3.x version to 4.1.1 and there is a character conversion error.

The index.html.tmpl file contains the degree character(s) °F, and when the generated index.html file is displayed the character(s) now have °F.

These characters are used in a generated image.

I've searched for a fix and other than insuring this setting <meta charset="UTF-8">, I can't find a fix.   Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Phil

How to deal with non-ASCII characters is set by the option encoding in skin.conf:

[CheetahGenerator]

    # Possible encodings are 'html_entities', 'utf8', or 'strict_ascii'
    encoding = html_entities

The sequence &#176; is an "HTML entity" for the degree sign.

If you set encoding to 'utf8', then UTF-8 will be used instead of HTML entities.

Thanks.  That's exactly what I needed.  Wishing you the best in this covid-19 time.
