Hi,

I have a German Umlaut in my Site Title: "Jobbörse"

If somebody clicks like Button Then this ö is Not correct posted in facebook.
Some Crazy signs are shown instead.
Can you say how to fix this issue?

Thanks and Regards christian

If your site is properly states its encoding as UTF-8, that should work right when posted. Facebook has had some issues with international characters recently in URLs, and I wouldn't be surprise if there may be some issue with the Like buttons right now.

Could you post (or Private Message) me a URL for a page with the Like button that has these issues? We'll gladly look into any causes that we can fix that may help you out.

Thanks,
Alex

thanks for your help i found the bug:
in og:title and og:description there was a "&nbsp" so i think facebook does not recognize as a sequence that it is utf8. Now i removed this html-sign and german umlaute like ä,ö,ü ... are show correct
thanks!!
