[DUG] Thai Baht Symbol - or Hex value to String converted

[Steve Peacocke]

I can also paste "symbol (ß)" into the source code and using a font
that supposed to render correctly, either Mocrosoft Sans Sarif or
Tahoma, all that will display is 'symbol (?)'.

Talk about frustrating.

Any help here by anyone would be really, really helpful.
