# Dropdown and UFT Characters

 * I encountered a strange phenomenon. We are editing different clubs (custom post
   types) for a touristic website. Many of the titles have characters liks ‘ or &
   or “
 * These look correct if a cpt is selected, but in the dropdown (field type = “post
   to edit”) the characters are decoded.
 * Screenshots are here: [https://postimg.cc/gallery/44mg1vQ](https://postimg.cc/gallery/44mg1vQ)
 * Has anyone encountered a similar problem and has an idea how to address this?

 * Thank you! In the database the characters show up ok as well. It is only the 
   dropdown.
