It doesn't sound like a problem that we hear of all the time, so you'll need to supply some details. Print out what repr() of the data is before you pass it to the template and then show how you are trying to display it in the template. We don't need the full template, you could write a view that just sends out constant data (so the view is one line long) and a template that just displays that data, for example. Simplest example possible always wins. > I can understand why these characters aren't being shown, but > why is the entire string not being shown? Shouldn't the the default > setup automatically escape or strip out these characters? No. Whatever data you pass in a string (bytestring or unicode instance) to the template is included literally. Unless you go to special lengths, it will be interpreted as UTF-8 characters by the browser on the client side.
