Mac, I’ve just checked an export on my own machine and don’t see anything like that. So I can only guess at the possible causes on yours:
- It could be a “mac” thing. I use PC and don’t see this problem.
- It could be something in the settings of yoor FTP software. I’ve never heard of “transmit” so can’t help with that I’m afraid.
- It coulld be something to do with the encoding of your database (normally “itf8_general_ci” Your web host might be able to comment on that.
I’m afraid I can’t advise on the use of “Zap Gremlins” either. I’ve never heard of that nor do I have any experience of Text Wrangler either. Presumably its a mac text editor? I do not however recommend the use of anything you don’t understand. get some advise from someone who understands and uses those products.
