# RSS feed error

 * I tried to subscribe to my blog in a new newsreader and discovered that I’m getting
   an error when I try to access my RSS feed:
    An invalid character was found in
   text content. Error processing resource ‘[http://www.bidtrendz.com/collectible/feed/rss2/&#8217](http://www.bidtrendz.com/collectible/feed/rss2/&#8217);.
   Line 129, Position 18 This is happening in two blogs I have going – is it related
   to the character encoding? I did read a post from someone who was having problems
   with German characters in their blog. The only thing I can think of, is I used
   a British “pound” symbol in a couple of posts. Or am I off base here, and it’s
   something else?

 * Can you figure out which particular character it is? That might help.

 * I haven’t a clue where it might be – I have 149 posts, but I’m assuming by the
   line number that it’s probably near the top.
    Since I posted, I did fix one of
   the blogs, but the error page did point me at the right post. Are we restricted
   to UTF-8 encoding for the RSS feed, as it does seem to be invalid characters 
   in the posts themselves causing the problem…
