Hi,
I didn't read the whole Sigil forum, so I don't know if this problem was brought up before. It has to do with you certain characters are converted into a series of ugly ascii characters. For exmaple, if the original file had the following text:


this was—before

after editing the file with Sigil, it becomes:

this was—before.

The character conversion is permanent, that is, if you safe the file (after you made some changes), the series of ascii characters "—" is everywhere where "—" is supposed to be.

The problematic "—" is not a regular dash, but it would be nice to keep it as is.

There are probably other characters that cause similar problem, and I believe the probelem is related to how the characters are encoded.

[Edit]
I did a little bit of search, and found out that the character in question is a unicode dash U+002D. My guess is that Sigil doesn't handle unicode, but I'm sure this particular dash will be found in many books.
