Default keep getting '?' popping up all over the place

modifiedcartrader.com.au

You'll see in the category list every category has a '?' mark next to it. So does the search box.

Anyidea as to how to get rid of these? They aren't in the template or database. Can't for the life of me figure it out.

Well latest one appeard on the quick search template when I added size="10" to the size of the text field.

Apart from that, I really can't seem to figure this on out.

If you remove size="10" does it go away?

your encoding of the file is wrong. change the encoding for your files (php and templates) to utf-8. (use a simple programming editor)

Interesting, I use either notepad or dreamweaver for all my coding (alot of php) and have never come across this problem before. However i'll give it a shot, thankyou.

What are you using to edit your files? It looks to be something your editor is adding. What do you see if you switch the template back to the unmolested default?
