LSEP Characters about koval HOT 9 OPEN

The solution I have found so far is to copy a red dot from the REST API:

paste this into a database find and replace tool like https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ and replace with nothing.

This Looks like a possible solution (just need to convert jquery to JS):
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").children().each(function() {
$(this).html($(this).html().replace(/&#8232 ;/g," ")); // remove the space in front of the first semicolon!
});
});

Looks like they might be coming across from the WP WYSIWYG editor, will investigate @Samueldriessen

Thanks Sam. I have removed this from Capital Partners in preparation for site launch.

Hey @samlogan possible update on this - it could be caused when copying content from sketch, not sure of this though.

from koval.

@Samueldriessen yeah that’s what I have traced it back to. Making some updates to Koval next week so will try and address it then

Hi @samlogan , Have we had any movement on this? Mark is seeing this on GAPerry, may be worth finding preventative or post-fix methods for it.

@Samueldriessen I believe @chungeric has been looking into it but it's a hard one to fix as it appears to be an issue with the character encoding at WordPress's end, possibly from the database schema allowing in UTF characters when copying and pasting into their WYSIWYG editor from Sketch.

I was able to get the character removed from the REST Json feed with this update (please note this is specific to GA Perry)
