Hi!
We replicate your sentences, but these symbols are not shown, everything shows up fine.
Please check your database coding.

Kind regards!

Querying my database yields the expected results (proper formatting of quiz questions).

What exactly do you suggest that I check or adjust?

These are my settings. Can you query your database and paste me the results? I will then adjust my database settings to match yours. Thanks.

Hi!
The process would be really faster if we could look at your site settings and see what's wrong.

Would you be able to send to support@joomplace.com the admin access to your site, mysql access and this forum thread's link?
We'll see what's wrong there.

Kind regards!

Yes, it is.

If you still have difficulties with it, you can send the temporary admin access to your site to support@joomplace.com together with this thread's link and we'll help you with it.
