€-Symbol in E-Mails

Hi,

I´m making my first test-shop with hika (starter) and I´m very happy about the flexibility.
However I share the following problem:

The €-Symbol appears in some web-based email viewer as an questionmark. Because I found no solution for this problem, I changed the currency symbol from "€" to "EUR". Now everything is cool
But if I use 3 letters for the currency, there is not enough space in the column of the confirmation emails. That means the price takes 2 lines.
Is it somehow possible to change the formatting (size of the column) of the emails in the starter edition?

Kind regards and sorry for my bad english...

Hi,

I am having the same problem, sometimes with the currency in the emails , euro symbol is like question mark.

Also, I noticed the same problem in the description of a product. The last character of a big description (before the option read more) it appears like a question mark. Here is the link of the product with the issue

Thanks in advance

Hi,

That's due to a character which is cut. TO have the readmore part, we use the php function substr().
In HTML the code for € is: € so if the substr() function cut the text in the middle of the HTML code for €, it will return for example  so a broken code, that's why the question mark is displayed.

What can be done is replace substr() by mb_substr() which avoir this kind of issues, but "mb" is a library which is not always enabled on the servers, so you have maybe to add this php library to your environment.

To replace substr() into mb_substr() you have to edit the view "product / show_tabular" via Display > Views and the email content, in the preload part of the email via the menu System > Email.
