Ordering arrows content char glitch

TensE

Same issue as described here

Using datatables.min.css 1.13.8 as per the above thread I added the @charset "UTF-8" before the code:

However I still very rarely and randomly get the issue where the sorting arrows have â–² and â–¼ as the characters

Is there anything else I can do to prevent this from happening?

If it's rare and random, we would really need to see the issue to understand what's happening. We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

If it is causing you issues, your best bet might be to use the ASCII escaped representation for that code point.

content: "\25B2"; // up arrow - ascending
content: "\25BC"; // down arrow - descending

replace in the CSS as needed.

DataTables 2 replaces the UTF8 icons with CSS borders to generate the arrows, in part to resolve this sort of thing.
