Can you confirm that your table is a derivative of `UTF-8` (e. g., `utf8mb4`)? You can usually have your hosting company assist you with this. * How was the text entered on this post? Was it typed directly into WordPress, or written in a different program and copy/pasted? * Thread Starter [Kingsley Felix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamkingsleyf/) * (@iamkingsleyf) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-server_error/#post-8661302) * Hello; * All my tables are in utf8mb4. articles are copied from word documents and pasted on the wordpress editor. * How do i find `people\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0to` ?? * Plugin Author [Kevin Fodness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinfodness/) * (@kevinfodness) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-server_error/#post-8667093) * Hi [@iamkingsleyf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamkingsleyf/)— * The sequence I indicated is present in your Pastebin link. * I believe the issue is due to pasting the content from Word. My hypothesis is that the invalid Unicode sequences are inserted into the database during the paste from Word operation, which is an issue that is unfortunately outside the scope of this plugin. You should be able to confirm this by exporting the post content from your database as text and examining the character sequences. * I would strongly recommend that you write content directly in WordPress, rather than pasting it in from a separate program, in order to avoid this issue. * Plugin Author [Kevin Fodness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinfodness/) * (@kevinfodness) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-server_error/#post-8813752) * [@iamkingsleyf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamkingsleyf/)— * The latest version of the plugin, released this week (1.2.3) should resolve this issue for you. If you update to the latest version and are still experiencing problems, please let us know. * Plugin Author [Kevin Fodness](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinfodness/) * (@kevinfodness) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-server_error/#post-8853298) * I’m going to close this issue for now.
