does anyone know why whenever i try to add a heart to my xanga post.. it always comes up as ¢¾?
 whenever i put the hearts when i'm typing the post they look normal...  but when it's submitted it turns into ¢¾...  ...does anyone know why? please help. //EDiT// i tried adding them as ♥ as well but still the same result  i also tried using a default font. when people leave comments on my site they use the hearts and they work... why don't they work for me?

are you using an embedded font? if so, that font might not have the heart symbol.
try using one of xanga's default fonts and see if it shows up. |

Dude--you only posted your response twenty minutes ago. People don't respond to things immediately.

You might not be able to store Chinese characters on a Xanga. Technical explanation: Xanga pages are sent in the ISO-8859-1 character set, which does not allow for Chinese characters. To get them to display, you must use the HTML entity code for a Chinese character (which will look like &# 123; or ģ).

You're setting the title with JavaScript, and you're setting the title string to all the HTML character entities; your friend isn't. You could try altering your script to use the actual characters, not the entities.
