Problem with rendering '×' symbol

Hello everyone!

Is this a bug that in the meteor, multiplication sign (×) appears like question mark(?) ?

For example:
‘Remove ×’ appears like ‘Remove ?’

I also tried to use ‘×’ it renders correctly.

I had problems with it too in Pure Admin, except it displayed as “Ã—”. I am currently using a lower case x. It would display fine when running from meteor run, but after building the client it would display as “Ã—”.

Maybe your template file is not saved as UTF-8?

You should definitively use the HTML entity: & times ; (without the spaces, obviously).

Thanks for replying.

It seems that the problem with my WebStorm IDE, which coverts ‘×’ to ‘?’.
So, it’s actually not meteor’s problem.
