Yup, I have been facing that too. For one, the forum software doesn't like the U+2192 character (RIGHTWARDS ARROW).

Hope the admins will read this...

Hi,

that does indeed suggest some character in your post isn't accepted by the forum. Could you pastebin your post so I can have a look?

Cheers,
Gijs

Hi Gijs,

Any post containing the Unicode U+2192 character (RIGHTWARDS ARROW) seems to fail. For instance, this.

Thanks for looking into it. :)

it is possible that unicode isn't fully supported by the forum software... i can't tell which version is being used but i've also not tested this on my own forums... i wouldn't even know how to put that character in the text in the first place...

In en_US.UTF-8 locale with X.org, it is relatively easy: Compose (aka 'Multi_key'), then - (aka 'minus'), then > (aka 'greater')

Note: the - must not come from numeric keypad.

Otherwise, just use copy & paste...
