I hear what you are saying Jason, but I shouldn't have to do that, but I will try it.
Just for the record I downloaded ckeditor from their site and installed it and THAT works fine without any problems, so I still think there is a bug in Data Bridge's HTML Editor that is causing this problem as it uses the same editor.
To add a codicil to this, I have tried your suggestion and it still doesn't work and still adds the weird characters as stated in my first post
