Yeah, you have a funky character in there and SSEF just replaces all the characters with numeric code equivalents, rather than giving you a mismash of characters.

Everyone's special, just some are more special (and others more speshal) than others.

All it would take is a few lines of code to make it appear as "acans" (without the special UTF8 symbols). This is what I use, and it works as expected (replaces special accented characters, so '¢' would appear as 'c'):

<?php
setlocale
(LC_CTYPE'en_US.utf8');
$string iconv('UTF-8''ASCII//TRANSLIT'$string);
?>


Maybe someone should tell the mod author. Or maybe we should disable SSEF. The latter seems the obvious choice, really.

Dumb question:  What is SimpleSEF anyway?  What's it do?

SimpleSEF rewrites all the URLs, like Pretty URLs does, except that it's lighter and more efficient.

Like Pretty URLs though it has caused its share of issues...

Doesn't have any SEO benefit but it looks nicer and may provide improved clickthrough.
