I ran into an issue on a match quiz today which I believe was due to use of non standard symbolism. Even though I selected the correct answer, the site thought that I got the answers wrong. I submitted a correction notice but also wanted to bring it to a more general forum so the editors are aware that this could be a problem in future quizzes.

As an example, the word aperitif with an accent over the e rendered as "ap�ritif" in my answers. Obviously that wasn't one of the choices and given that it was a match quiz, the one I chose should have been accepted.

Great, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Would you happen to remember anything about the quiz - the quiz name would be great, but even the category would be helpful.

This is the one that seems to be referred to?

If so, the accent seems to work for me. Hm.

What browser were you using andy?

That is indeed the quiz, Terry. I played it on Microsoft Edge using Windows 10. This morning I replayed he quiz on my work computer using Chrome and did not run into the same issue.
