The title was a quote from Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.
But in all seriousness, take a looksie at my name. What went wrong? I used to have an accent on the "I" like this... "i"? No, thats not right. It seems I do not know how to do it on my iMac keyboard... Yet.

Tim: nonsense, in the end it outputs as plain HTML, and that's what the end user gets.
It's called character encoding, it could be that TDC recently switched to different character encoding making your original í invalid in the character set used. Re-enter it?
EDIT: I think there's new character encoding alright, because my signature now has a bunch of extra enters.
Yes, you basically explained what I meant... when characters like that enter a database, it is often changed via this character encoding to make it readable. Its output is then what it was changed into, as you said - as plain html. It happens when you do things like putting » instead of the html code "raquo;"
