A symbol appears every time I use degree symbol.

Heres a screen. Everytime I use the degrees symbol in the skin it shows this symbol beside it. This has persisted for about a month now, and has continued to happen despite several reinstalls and an unrelated OS reinstall. The strange this is it doesnt seem to happen in any skin but mine.

You need to check to be sure your .ini file is "encoded" as ANSI or UCS-2 Little Endian. Sounds like you might have encoding set to some other flavor of Unicode that is not properly supported.

Correct! It must be because of the editor I'm using. Thanks. Fixed by saving the .INI using Notepad instead of Sublime.

Sublime Text Editor can certainly save files with the appropriate encoding, I think it is a configuration setting, although not sure where as I don't use it.

It's probably just something I set. I like to play with the settings which helps me learn a program but also leads to me f---ing up the programming. Thanks a lot.
