Oh dear me- the problem is here also.

Charleygirl Thu 10-Sept-15 09:11:33

No problems here - I have pound signs, here are one or two, ???????? or would you like a question mark?

This is a fairly new Asus 8.1 computer- the only good thing that I have said about it I think.

Oo-er...This is only on Gransnet I take it? hmm
We'll investigate...

Well my Hudl is turning pound signs into question marks!
????????????= pounds
???????= question marks.

By the way I only typed one question mark!?

hildajenniJ Thu 10-Sept-15 08:42:54

I don't seem to be having any trouble. My ?? signs are fine, as are the other symbols. I am using my hudl which has just recently updated itself though. Surprisingly the battery life indicator has started functioning again, I hope it carries on.??

And it's happening across all my devices.

Yes, it's suddenly gone bonkers. It now won't print n-dashes (hyphens) and puts ??. Very helpful!

Yes, me too - I was gettingr question marks yesterday when I tried to use a foreign word with an accented a.

Why do I get a question mark when I type a pound sign ? It's not just me, someone else had trouble on a thread I was reading. It's happening with other symbols and letters with an accent over.
