 * Hi Daniel,
 * Exactly the problem sipoax had here [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-about-utf-8-and-the-display-at/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-about-utf-8-and-the-display-at/)
   but a bit different.
 * I have 3 entries with titles using letter Ș but only the first entry is displayed
   at Ș the rest are displayed at #.
 * I’m using his codes from the top link including mb_substr() instead of substr().
 * What can I do to fix this?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * Is there a possibility that your posts starting with `Ș` might include variations
   on the character/letter that aren’t accounted for in the default alphabet? The“
   Unicode” character number needs to exactly match, so even if two letters look
   similar they could be considered by Unicode to be different.
 * If you’re sure that they should be the same, try copying the first character/
   letter from the title of the (a) post that is correctly sorted and paste it into
   the title of one of the posts that is being treated wrongly and save that post
   to see if it makes it work. If the post you just edited is now correct then it
   would seem that you have similar letters that are actually different Unicode 
   letters.
