I was able to fix it by just retyping the bad portion. I'm not sure why it was broken, but please let us know if it ever happens again!

As you can see, there are no invalid characters in the field. So I wonder what is causing this problem.

%e2 = â

%80 = €

%ac = ¬

You can edit the slug by editing the post. The slug is below the Title field.

I noticed it and deleted it, it hasn't happened since, and I figured it was one of those blips that can happen.

I wonder if something similar happened with your post?

I suspect it's just a bit of buggy coding that they can do something about. Hang on there.

I am wondering why does the slug URL on this post has those weird characters.

When I check the permalink box, I don't see anything unusual, so I am surprised to see the way this post has turned out. I wonder if this is a bug with the theme or something else I am overlooking?
