# » not working

 * Whenever I try to edit either my header, index, or footer pages in the default
   theme, the >> symbol (» in HTML) changes to a question mark. How do I fix this?
 * This is the code:
 * <?php get_header(); ?>
 *  <div id=”content”>
 *  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
 *  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 *  <div class=”head” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
    <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?
   > <!– by <?php the_author() ?> –> </div></td></tr><tr><td>
 *  <div>
    <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?> </div>
 *  <p class=”postmetadata”>Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | <?php edit_post_link(‘
   Edit’, ”, ‘ | ‘); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’,‘%
   Comments »’); ?></p>
    </div>
 *  <?php endwhile; ?>
 *  <div class=”navigation”>
    <div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous
   Entries’) ?></div> <div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries»’)?
   ></div> </div>
 *  <?php else : ?>
 *  <h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
    <p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking
   for something that isn’t here.</p> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.
   php”); ?>
 *  <?php endif; ?>
 *  </div>
 * <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * Thank you.

 * You can’t just type the >> character in directly. You need to use the right [HTML entity](http://www.ramsch.org/martin/uni/fmi-hp/iso8859-1.html).
   These always start with `&`. For example, >> is `&raquo;` .
 * EDIT: Sorry, I re-read your post, you obviously know the above. Are you editing
   your code in something that would mess with it e.g. Word?

 * Ah thanks so much for your help. =) I was using an HTML freeware and I guess 
   it automatically changes the $raquo; to that symbol so it cannot be read. Thank
   you ^^
