Hi all!
I am trying to make a Facebook share button on my site. Everything goes well except Facebook garbles non-ascii symbols obtained from meta tags. For example:
I am sharing a page with URL http://example.com/facebook/. The page at http://example.com/facebook/ has the following meta tags inside its HTML:
<head>
...
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
...
<meta name="title" content="John Smith won £10000!" />
<meta name="description" content="Wanna be next John Smith?" />
<link rel="image_src" href="http://example.com/img/logo.jpg" />
...
</head>
The problem is that a pound (£) sign is shown as � symbol in Facebook share pop-in, that's not a desired behaviour.
I would be grateful for any thoughts.
