* Hello all,
* i’m activating the SKU generator and instead of numbers it shows me HTML Characters.
Do you know why is this happening and what i have to change to fix it?
* Check the screenshot, [http://i57.tinypic.com/aouemo.jpg](http://i57.tinypic.com/aouemo.jpg)
* Let me notice that i use the greek language as my Primary Language at wordpress.
* Thanks in advance!

* Hey [@billinflames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/billinflames/), thanks
for reporting this. I can replicate by using a UTF8 character for the slug, and
I’ve tracked this down to how WordPress sanitizes the post slug before we’ve
grabbed it.
* I’ll have to investigate a workaround and include in a new release — you can
[follow along here](https://github.com/bekarice/woocommerce-product-sku-generator/issues/3)
or keep an eye on the changelog :).
* Cheers!

* Hey [@billinflames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/billinflames/), meant
to push this in as part of version 2.0.0 and forgot, but it’s now fixed in version
2.0.1 🙂 Cheers!
