Strange characters appearing on live web page

Hi, there.

My client's using an older version of CMSB - 1.09 - and when they type two spaces into a WYSIWYG field a strange character - Â - appears on the live page. When I delete one of the spaces everything looks fine.

Is there a way of fixing this? While typing an extra space isn't deliberate, it seems a bit of a pain to keep haing to go back to CMSB and delete it.

Many thanks.

Kenny's got it.

I believe that character is how TinyMCE (the WYSIWYG) encodes non-breaking spaces.
All the best,
Chris
