 Hello. Strange letters appear when CSS optimization is enabled.

Lefteris Kavadas
Hi Vladimir,

Those are not strange letters are HTML entities and are perfectly fine for browsers.
This is caused by a known issue in PHP which cannot read correct the HTML5 meta charset.

So, if you are using:

<meta charset="utf-8">


You will get HTML entities.

If you want to avoid this just replace your current meta with the old fashion one:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />


This should remove the entities and keep the original characters in your markup.
